Baja Tacos
Serves 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes, Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Cooking spray
1/2 medium onion, sliced
1/2 large sweet red pepper, sliced
1/2 large green bell pepper, sliced
1 lb uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
1 packet low-sodium taco seasoning (optional)
8 taco-sized corn tortillas
salt
black pepper
1 avocado, sliced
1 cup Iceberg lettuce, chopped
2 Tbsp shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese, or Monterey Jack cheese
2 Tbsp fat-free sour cream
1 Tbsp salsa
1 tsp cilantro, fresh, chopped
1. Coat veggies with cooking spray. Set a skillet set over medium heat. Saute onion for 2 minutes. Add red & green peppers; sauté for 2 minutes more (vegetables should still be a little crisp). Remove vegetables from pan and place in a small bowl.
2. Saute chicken in same skillet about 4 to 5 minutes; add taco seasoning and about 1/4 cup water. Simmer until cooked through.
3. Heat tortillas in same skillet for 20 seconds on each side; remove to a plate.
Season vegetable mixture with salt and pepper; divide among tortillas. Top each with avocado, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, salsa and cilantro; fold up and serve.
Results: These tacos are super easy to make and way tasty! I've made these three times after trying the recipe for the first time, and I love them! I know, I know...they are just tacos, there is nothing original about the recipe, but they are delicious, and seriously low-fat. Who knew that tiny bit of cooking spray would cook all the veggies and chicken?
