Turkey Tacos

Ashley has been on the kick to cook the last few days, so tonight, we decided to make tacos! Of course, I didn't take a picture, but I still thought I'd share how to make healthy "acceptable" tacos.

Ingredients

• Lean Ground Turkey (Seasoned with Trader Joe's Taco Seasoning)
• Low Carb Whole Wheat Tortillas or Soft Corn Tortillas (NO flour tortillas)
• Black Beans
• Salsa
• Onions
• Cilantro
• Avocado 

You get the idea!

This brings me to the topic of mexican food. Sometimes, people don't think that you can eat healthy at a mexican restaurant... but you can! Opt out of the chips and get a side of warm corn tortillas to dip in the salsa, I also eat salsa with a fork (yes, I've received many interesting looks, but then people just get used to it, and I get my own bowl!). No cheese or sour cream on anything. Swap refried beans for black or pinto beans. Have corn instead of flour tortillas (some restaurants have wheat). 

Healthy options consist of:

Ceviche and Shrimp Cocktail

Chicken, Steak, Shrimp or Vegetable Fajitas

Chicken or Steak Street Tacos

Any Clear Broth Chicken or Seafood Soups (No chicken tortilla)

Ground Beef Taco Salad (No cheese or sour cream)

Guacamole is not a bad choice if eaten in moderation. Avocado provides a very healthy fat that is great for your hair and  skin, and lower cholesterol levels (meaning good for your heart!).

So, next time you're at a mexican restaurant, consider these options! It isn't as difficult as everyone thinks. It's easy to make a change, and it's easy to take an unhealthy food and make it healthy so that it can still be enjoyed!
