We love tacos, but we are trying to eat healthier as well as eat out less. We save eating out for special occasions - trying to set a good example for the 5 y.o.!
We haven't reached the stage of making our own tortillas yet, and I doubt we will for quite some time. We do want to eat healthy, but not to the point where we make everything ourselves and have very little time for other activities. To that end, I have been searching for a healthier tortilla - most tortillas tend to be loaded with carbs and high calorie (150+ calories each). So far, the La Tortilla Factory is the only low carb tortilla I've found in the shops (Safeway to be precise), and it doesn't taste too bad either.
The recipe itself is really simple, takes about 10 minutes.
Serves:3
Ingredients:
1. Tortillas
2. Tomatoes
3. Onions
4. Green bell pepper
6. Grated cheese
7. Can of beans (we use Amy's vegetarian chilli)
8. Your choice of salsa
9. Avocados
10. Lettuce/ salad leaves for crunch
Method:
1. For the fajitas, cut up the onions and bell pepper into thin long strips, stir fry and keep aside.
2. Cut tomatoes, avocados into thin strips as well.
3. Heat up the can of chilli and let it simmer as you heat up the tortillas.
4. Assemble everything on the tortilla - beans first, followed by the fajitas, then tomatoes, avocados, salsa and cheese. We also like to self assemble the Tacos at the table, makes for a much more interactive meal.
5. Fold and eat!
We all love these tacos, and our 5 y.o. gets quite excited about taco night. And since my wife is currently on a no-carb diet, her taco looks like this:
Happy eating! If you happen to read this and try it out, let me know :)
