Yummy Taco (Calories: 282)

I encourage modifications on my recipes. If you like lettuce instead of cabbage, go for it. Prefer pinto over black beans? Make the switch! Use your own favorite brands, but make sure to look at the calories and keep track of any differences.

For one taco:
Ingredients:
Tortilla - (Mission brand) Artisan Style, Corn & Whole Wheat Blend  (Calories: 90)
1/4 cup Beans- (Rosarita brand) Low fat Refried Black Beans (Calories: 55)
1/3 cup Cheese- (FoodMaxx brand) part-skim mozzarella (Calories: 50)
1 thick tomato slice (14 grams) cut into cubes  (Calories: 3)
1 leaf green cabbage (14.5 grams) cut into strips (calories: 4)
1/2 Avocado (50 grams) (Calories: 80)


Preparation:
1. Warm beans: Put beans in a microwave safe container. Microwave for 2 minutes 30 Seconds (for a whole can)
2. Layer ingredients in order listed above
3. Enjoy

Total calories: 282



If you are still hungry after one taco, try filling in the extra 
belly space with a salad (light or no dressing) or plan to have
two. Make sure you are consuming the right amount of calories
for yourself and your goals!


Happy (and easy) eating!
