ZESTY CITRUS TACOS

Reflect back to our Italian Orange chicken recipe a few nights ago....

Yummy right!

Pictures taken not so pretty but the dish itself is so good!

I'm all about being as useful and frugal as I possibly can...

Since I was grilling the chicken - I figured - might as well go ahead and cook enough for another meal!

Frugal Tip

Plan meals according to sales

Notice the chicken & orange theme this week...

...Yep both on sale

*less than 10 min to prepare

*cook till veggies are tender!

*slice already grilled chicken (4 chicken breast), tomatoes, onions & garlic

*add one can of green salsa, zest of one orange (I also garnished with sour cream-yummy!!) & juice of 1 orange

....also a low calorie meal depending of your sides and serving size of meat.

Approx 375 calories for 2 tacos

Servings size 8 tacos

Chicken Wrap: low calorie and delicious!!!

So my hubby & I have been counting our calories. Let me tell you- on valentines weekend, pre-valentines day & VALENTINES we counted a lot of calories. :) In this adventure to trim up a bit- I feel like I'm also on a mission to create tasty food and refuse to eat boring "diet" recipes.

This was my lunch and it was extremely filling and very tasty...
And it made me feel better after all that "counting" this week!

easy

What you need:



1 can of chicken (makes 4 wraps!)
2 tablespoons of mayo

More is better but obviously we're going for trimmer is better too!



TIP: I went for taste and kept the extra calories- cut more calories by opting for low fat mayo.
