After spending 4 years in Texas and 3 in Arizona, I developed a craving
for Mexican "style" food. I'm really craving some things for breakfast
but I have a problem. I have a heart condition and I'm diabetic. But I
would like some recipes if anyone has some that fits the bill. Keep in
my though I'm now in New Jersey and
ingredients are mighty hard to find. Thanks to all who can help me out.

You should be able to find bottled nopalitos in your grocery store; they are
being sold by the shipload to Japanese who suffer from diabetes. There a
several companies extracting the right ingredients; but I don't know any
more than that. Nopalitos are great in salads, in scrambled eggs, in
quesadillas and almost anywhere a green veggie is called for.

I don't know if they have Fiesta Grocery stores in NJ, but here in Waco,
TX., they sell Nopalitos in the fresh vegetable dept., thorns and all lol.
While we are on the subject of stores, I seen what looked like long flat
bean pods, approx. 1 1/2 ft.long x 1 in. wide, they reminded me of mesquite
beans only larger. What are they and how are they used? I didn't find any
signs and I was in a hurry to get some peppers for a salsa, so I didnt ask
at the store.

I've seen them here and there, but never in the kitchen. Anybody????

The beans you describe sound like guajes. The are used dried and fresh
- I toasted some with salt as a snack. Only problem with toasted
guajes are they are rather flatulent inducing.
Be forewarned.

I see someone's already directed you to recipesource.com. Recipes
*are* your best bet, if you need to avoid salt and fat. Beans don't
need to be "refried," ingredients for fresh salsa (tomato, peppers,
onion, garlic, and even cilantro) are readily available. Voila --
huevos rancheros! If eggs are OK for you. :-) What exactly is it
that you're missing?
