Healthy Tacos

Taco Tuesday without ever having to leave your house. My spin on healthy tacos! Siete almond flour tortillas you can find at Whole Foods & Sprouts. Siete taco seasoning I have only found at Whole Foods but trust me both are game changers!

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a pan, cook yellow onion until softened., next add the ground turkey. Once turkey has cooked through add the siete spicy taco seasoning and 1 to 2 tbsp of water. Once seasoning and water have been cooked through add the pineapple & jalapeno.

  2. In a separate pan, lightly spray the pan with avocado oil and place siete almond flour tortilla on the pan. Hold tortilla for 20-25 seconds then flip. You want the tortillas to start to get a little crispy & warm. You don’t want the tortillas to sit too long on the stove or else it will get too crunchy.

  3. The below photo shows RightRice cilantro lime vegetable rice, you can use their Spanish flavor which goes amazing with tacos. Slice half an avo & serve up your tacos!

Fresh Ahi Bowl

Homemade ahi bowls are my jam! This recipe is loaded with brown rice, avocado, fresh ahi, and spinach.  There is nothing like freshly caught seafood. Poke bowls have been taking over California so why not join in the hype? I make these at least once a week. It might look intimidating but they are super easy and quick to put together. Always be careful when buying your fish.  To play it safe, I always buy my fresh fish from local markets, that typically catch the fish that morning. If you are going to buy fish from a market be sure to ask the person at fish counter if the tuna for purchase is sushi grade or safe to eat raw. If you aren’t into raw fish you can sear in a saucepan either option will be equally as delicious.

Healthy Taco Salad

Healthy Taco Salad

Ever since I was little my mom always made taco salads. It was a summer staple in our house and super simple to throw together. Taco salads can be loaded with the wrong all the wrong ingredient but since it contains the word “salad” we assume it’s healthy for us. Most taco salads at restaurants have over 1500 calories.  I decided to give the classic taco salad a makeover.
