A Tale of Two Tacos

My boyfriend commented on how I always make fun of his puns but I use them in my writing. A lot. I told him I am the generation of Carrie Bradshaw. Everything is a pun. She was a queen of them. So today, I write about two different tacos with a big difference. My friend Sam recently posted a picture that said, "This is my Mexican food: 20% alcohol, 20% food, 60% sour cream". The killer. The barbarian. The DISGUSTING. Sour cream. I hate it. No that's a lie. My FGS comes out big time when I eat. "Oh I can eat that because it's low in fat. I look good..blah blah blah." Man, FGS is brutal some days. I really try to stay away from because it can be the most fattening thing on your plate.

Mahi Mahi Tacos

2 Mahi Mahi fillets
One Trader Joe's Guacamole pack
Whole Wheat tortillas
Fresh cilantro
Extra lime juice

Cook the Mahi Mahi in lime juice and garlic and let it cook on medium heat for 5-6 minutes on each side until the fish is white and flakey. I added some Cajun seasoning to add some spice.

Kevin opted for sour cream and I opted for none. We also decided to not make the guac but instead eat them as slices. One taco is healthier than the other...I'll give you two guesses. I hope you only need one. Just by changing our eating habits we can be better eaters. As a TRUE CALIFORNIAN, avocado is the greatest and most delish additive to any meal. Yum.
According to myfitnesspal.com this meal is 486 calories for two tacos. Not to shabby for a meal.

OLE! I chose the wrong language.

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Tex-Mex food. I also love Tex-Mex food during the summer. So what I am trying to say that my next few posts will most likely include Tex-Mex food. Let's get one thing straight from the beginning...this is not Mexican food. Mexican is different from Tex-Mex meaning that it's Americanized Mexican food. Mexican is not as seasoned as Tex-Mex food. That doesn't mean it's less flavorful it just means it's different spices and different cooking. Don't get me wrong...I love Mexican food but I love the spices and the fatties of the Tex-Mex food. I decided to make my own guacamole to got with my soft tacos.

Here are my ingredients:
1 pound of ground lean turkey
1 packet of low sodium taco seasoning
2 avocados, pitted, mashed
2 tomatoes, minced
Cilantro
Salt and pepper
Garlic, minced
Whole wheat tortillas

This is a no-brainer. You cook your turkey, you combine all the goods for your "guac" (it's not all the ingredients for regular guac). Finally, put all in the tortilla and BAM. You can eat all week with different toppings to add flavor. I actually saved the bell pepper for later when I created veggie tacos.

Yummmmmmmm.
