So you would think with my profession that I absolutely love going to the grocery store. But after a long day at work, a 65 lb puppy that needs attention, and frankly pure laziness on my part...I dread it and want to fly through there as quickly as possible. Although I think that through this dread and impatience has come a good outlet of knowledge. Having done my research, I now feel confident that my speedy trip's outcome will not do a disservice to my healthy diet. I would like to share some short-cuts on how to have a great tasting and HEALTHY taco night!
Cheap and Easy Tacos
1/2 pre-roasted turkey or chicken (I like Jennie-O brand, and remove the skin!)
1 package Whole Wheat Tortillas (I like the low-carb brands, they seem to have a higher protein and fiber content)
1 Green pepper
1 Onion
1 Tomato
1 bushel Fresh Cilantro
1 Avocado
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Hot sauce
Grill onions and green peppers in a well-greased frying pan (olive oil spray is a healthy choice to cook with.) Warm tortillas in microwave for 10 secs. Slice fresh tomato and avocado. Chop fresh cilantro pieces. Remove skin from roasted chicken. Pull of about 3 oz of meat (size of deck of cards) portions for each taco. Add grilled vegetables, fresh tomato, avocado, sprinkle cheese, and cilantro. Add hot sauce for some spice.
