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!

Homemade Poke Bowls

Who doesn’t love poke bowls? I have been making my own poke bowls for years and it’s one of the most requested recipes asked by my friends. Below is a step by step guide on how to make your favorite poke bowl at home.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 pound fish of choice

  • 1/2 cup brown rice

  • one handful greens

  • cucumbers

  • half an avocado

  • ginger

  • sesame seeds

  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil

  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos

  • 1 garlic clove chopped

  • 2 tsp ponzu sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Where to get your fresh fish is a question I get asked weekly. Your best bet is to find your fish at a local farmers market to ensure you are getting the best quality of fish; you also cant go wrong with Whole Foods & Bristol Farms.

  2. I like to start with the base of my bowl first. I usually add 1/2 cup of brown rice or if I am trying to be extra healthy then I will opt with a huge handful of greens

  3. I switch being salmon & ahi for fish. I slice the fish in thin pieces and add to my base

  4. Cucumber salad. I will post my cucumber salad within the next few days because it is just too good and goes perfectly with poke bowls

  5. Fresh ginger, I usually buy mine from my local fish market or grocery store

  6. Half an avocado sliced into thin pieces

  7. I add my homemade sauce last. I add coconut aminos, toasted sesame seed oil, ponzu sauce & minced garlic. I drizzle over the entire bowl and top it off with sesame seeds. Enjoy!

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.
