Taco salad. Using taco shells, wraps or tortilla/nacho chips will add SO MANY calories to your meal. So when I make a plate, I try not to add that at all.
I know, I KNOW that the corn flavour and crispiness the shells/chips add to your dish, is important.
But this is about choices, right? Do you want to lose weight, or not? Sometimes I take half a taco shell, crush it into small pieces, and sprinkle them over the taco salad. That is better than eating 5 whole shell`s right? :)
Cheese...oh dare I say that I have stopped adding that to my taco-meal as well? ummm...I have...and I do not miss it THAT much.
Ok..I do..
BUT, I rather have it without cheese, and have a dessert instead.
Choices remember?
Sacrifices, yeah? :)
If you insist on having a wrap...use lettuce instead! Find a nice crisp leaf, and wrap all the goodies in there :) Works like a charm, I promise!
This was my taco salad today. I was out of lettuce, so I just added what I had in the fridge. No cheese, no taco-shells or chips. Salsa and some low fat sour cream is a must, though.
I love adding avocado, but the ones I had was overripe, so I had to throw them out. Still turned out to be tasty and filling.
Want to cut down even more on the calories? Use lean mince. That`s what I do, if I can find it at a reasonable price.
