Turkey Lettuce Tacos/Wraps-Fitness Friday Recipe

Last night I made these awesomely delicious Turkey Lettuce Tacos/Wraps!

My hubby wasn't too into the whole no bread protein style taco, so he settled for a whole wheat pocket. Needless to say he Loved them! He was also iffy about having turkey instead of beef, turns out he was amazed that he couldn't tell the difference! 

With the right seasonings and some love,  you can make anything delicious!

This is what I used......

1lb. Ground Turkey 

2 tlsp EVOO (EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL)

1 PKG. Taco Seasoning

Bell peppers

A bit of onion

Tomato 

Green leaf lettuce

Heat oil up a bit, toss onions. Let onions caramelize a bit then add meat. When meat Is 3/4 done add taco seasoning. 

Lengthwise add meat, some cheese and other toppings and enjoy! 

We loved this turkey recipe and I hope you do too!

Late Dinner Post

So last night I made stir-fry! And might I say it was delicious! Its was so colorful, well mostly green lol

I mixed in:
●Bell Peppers
●Mushrooms
●Onion
●Carrots
●Bean Spouts
●Minced Garlic
●Green Beans
●Snow Peas

I made beef stir-fry actually. I cooked the beef about 4 to 5 minutes, then sat aside. Cooked the veggies about 4 minutes as well then blended both. I used extra virgin olive oil of course. I did buy the premade sauce,  but only used a bit to coat the mixture. After some research, I think I'll actually try to make my own sauce next time! I let it cook a about another 5 minutes and done!  I'm still watching what I eat so I didnt even bother to make rice and I didn't cook the veggies all the way either to not cook out all the nutrition. It was so filling and flavorful!  My hubby loved it!

Dinner Report!

Tonight I craved steaks! So guys I don't have an outdoor grill just yet and I dont have a cast iron skillet either so I looked online some time ago and came across a tip online for baked steaks! We've done them like this a few times already and they are so good, tender, and juicy! 

-So, I brown them in a pan on both sides and cook them in the oven the rest of the time! That's it!

-Season to taste of course!

-For the size of the steaks I did 325°f for 20 minutes,  we like medium well, so we had a bit of pink.

For sides, we were a little bad going with steak fries, but we did have green beans with them. ♡

-I baked the steak fries as well, drizzled with some olive oil and sea salt.
-Green Beans were sautéed in olive oil, with minced garlic and salt and pepper.
Overall my craving was satisfied! And no offense to my steak lovers, I love steak with A1 sauce! Lol

Home Cooked Meal ○Tinga○

Personally i think my mom makes the best tinga. But of course everyone thinks their moms cooking is the best. But my mom doesn't make it or we don't go over as often as my hubby would like. So today my hubby begged for me to take on the challenge of preparing this awesomely delicious spicy meal.

What is tinga?  Well it's a chipotle based Mexican dish that is pretty spicy yet, delicious. It's usually made with chicken but we love the beef.

I've wanted to make it for a long time but, I can't bare to even attempt a family recipe, not be successful and feel crappy for it. So without inviting anyone over, I thought I'd give it a try,  atleast for my hardworking hubby! My family can be a bit judgmental when something just doesn't taste right. So that's why I've been hesitant on cooking family recipes, even just regular Mexican food lol. Well I tried it, and we loved it. It's surprisingly simple and not that hard! Next time I make it I'll have to post the recipe and more pics :)
