Vegetarian Cheesy Lentil Tacos

Oh Em Gee guys! My lunch on this #MacroMeatlessMonday was freaking delicious! Why do I not buy lentils more often?! 🤔🤔

Seriously a great substitute for taco meat!

I bought already steamed lentils from Trader Joe’s and seasoned them with garlic powder and Chile lime seasoning 😋😋 I heated up 3/4 cup of the lentils for my taco filling here and topped them with light Swiss cheese from TJ’s with the bomb macros 7P/0C/2.5F per slice(check my TJs Haul for the packaging deets👌)

I used my favorite mini street flour tortillas from Mission that are soooooo soft and only 13C each🤗 And I had some Chile lime seasoned shaved Brussels sprouts to add more volume and a serving of veggies to my meal 😋🤗

Seriously solid #Meatless meal you guys! .

Crunchy Chicken Tacos & Cheesy Bean Tostada

Felt like a winner on this Taco Tuesday 🌮🌮🌮

I almost lost it when I found out how macro friendly these El Paso crunchy tacos shells are 😍🙌👌 50 calories and 6g of carbs each! 😍

 

Added in some of my pre-cooked chicken from Trader Joe’s that I seasoned with lime juice and chile lime seasoning😋 some red onion and reduced fat Mexican cheese🤤 .

And because I LOVE volume eating aka eating MORE for LITTLE CALORIES! And because wasn’t having enough chicken to fill three taco shells I made a little tostada with half of my extra shell with cheese and a side of refried salsa beans from TJ’s and crumbled the other half shell for some crunch in my massive side salad with sliced grape tomatoes and 2 tbsp Bolthouse Farms Cilantro Avocado Dressing 🥗 (Only 40 calories!)

The salad looks like A LOT I know but the greens, tomatoes, and dressing come out to about 60 calories! Adding volume to your meal with low carb veggies is a great way to obviously get in those high nutrient veggies 😉 but having MORE FOOD (no matter the calories) will have you leaving the meal feeling fuller longer!

 

Solid meal packed with so much volume for such manageable calories 👏🙌 celebrate Taco Tuesday at home with this one 😋👌

Low Carb Tacos🌮

Craving tacos but want to keep it low carb? Here are some of my favorite low carb tacos I’ve created 😋🙌 I love using lettuce cups or romaine hearts in replace of tortilla shells as it can help keep tacos lower in carbs, fat, and calories 👌🙌 this allows to add in avocado and have a side of carbs (beans, rice, or chips) without making the macros too high 👍

4 oz lean ground turkey with marinated in Frank’s hot sauce before baking) with cherry tomatoes, chopped green bell pepper, corn, franks hot sauce, and nonfat plain Greek yogurt. I love using nonfat Greek yogurt in replace of sour cream because it’s lower in fat and calories and higher in protein 💪💪//230 kcal 24P/11C/8F .

 4 oz spicy shrimps (marinated in Frank’s hot sauce before baking) with 1/3 avocado, cherry tomatoes, chopped green bell pepper, and corn🌽//199 kcal 31P/15C/7F

4 oz spicy tilapia (marinated in Frank’s hot sauce before baking) with 1/3 avocado 😋 simple but tasty 🔥🐟🥑//182 kcal 22P/5C/10F

4 oz lean ground turkey with 1/3 avocado, and Frank’s hot sauce 🔥//252 kcal 23P/5C/15F

*Macros are for 3 tacos🌮🌮🌮All pretty simple, tasty, and (my favorite) EASY to make 🙌👌

Tilapia Taco Night

Super Easy and Macro Friendly Tilapia Taco!

 

I bought frozen tilapia at Target (Simply Balanced brand) that has GREAT macros! 5g of protein and under a gram of fat per oz 👌👌 Once I thawed out the filets I marinated them with Frank’s hot sauce and laid them on a nonstick cooking sprayed foil lined pan and sprinkled a generous amount of Mrs. Dash fiesta lime seasoning (because 0 calories 👌👌) and bake it at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. The fish comes out sooooo moist and flakey, I pull the filets apart a bit to make taco assembly easier 👌👌

 

 

While the fish was baking I cooked on the stove some Knorr Mexican Seasoned Rice 🍚 super delicious! Took 7 minutes to make and had great flavor 😋 Half a cup of cooked rice was is only 135 calories 💪 and 23 carbs 🙌 I opted to use my favorite low carb Tumaro’s Wrap as my taco instead of the flour tortillas my family was using because those wraps fit my macros best because they are lower carb so then I could have more rice and a beer😁

 

 

Topped my taco with shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, and some guacamole 🌶🥑 paired my meal with a corona light 🍺 (only 99 calories 👏 I added in alcohol carbs which adds 25g of carbs to my meal)

 

Total macros for this meal: 501 calories with 36P/67C/11F 👌👌pretty good for a taco and beer night 🌮🍺😋🤤

 

*Everything can be found at Target!

Chicken Street Tacos with Low Carb Spanish Rice

Simple but tasty chicken street tacos with low carb Spanish rice 🙌 🌮🍚

How is the rice low carb? Because it’s cauliflower rice 😋👌 mixed with diced white onion and tomatoes 🍅 with some Chile Lime seasoning from Trader Joe’s🔥 a cup of my cauliflower Spanish rice is 12g of carbs while a cup of regular Spanish rice is 40g of carbs🍚 So if you’re looking for a lower carb rice option or want more volume for 40g fo carbs then cauliflower rice is the way to go 👏 I opted for the lower carb rice because I wanted to get in a serving of veggies and my tortillas were higher in carbs (13g each)🌮 and I didn’t want this meal to be too carb heavy as it’s high in fat with avocado🥑 and cheese🧀

 

But my SUPER soft flour tortillas from Mission were seriously SO delicious and worth every carb😋 I bought my chicken pre-cut and marinated fajitas style from Grocery Outlet from Tyson 🍗 kept the rest of my tacos simple and fatty by adding in some jalapeño cheese, fresh avocado, cilantro, and lime juice 👌
