Tostada (80 Day Obsessed/Fix Approved)
If you know me, you know I LOVE ME SOME MEXICAN FOOD! So any chance I have to make tacos, taco salads, fajitas, whatever it is...I am going to make it!
I am still in my 80 day program and when I bumped up from plan B to plan C for my nutrition because I was hangry, I was finally able to pair my cheese with a carb and protein (because I got an extra carb and protein in C)...and of course veggies so you know whatever I made FIRST for the specific meal was going to be Mexican, of course.
I know, you are probably thinking, you were finally able to pair your cheese with a carb and a protein?! Trust me, it isn't as scary as it sounds and I promise, I will do a blog post explaining what I am doing but just know this timed nutrition meal plan is EVERYTHING! I LOVE it. If you need a swift kick in the pants with your nutrition and workouts, seriously, message me. We NEED to chat. This program has been a game changer for me and my girls in my group!
Ok, now for the recipe because that is what you want, right?!
What you need (1 serving):
1 Corn Tortilla
1/4 C Nonfat Refried Beans
3/4 C of my Taco Meat (Yes, use mine, it is amazing. Obv. you would omit the red pepper & rice from that recipe but that link will give you instructions on how to make the taco meat)
1/2 C Cabbage Slaw
1/2 C Chopped Tomatoes
1/4 C Kraft Hot Habanero Cheese (if you like a kick, it is the shit)
1 Lime
Preparation:
1. Make sure your taco meat is prepped! I make 2lbs of this in advance and have it pre portioned in the fridge or freezer for quick meals. Set aside 3/4 cup of warm taco meat.
2. Bake your tortilla or if you have an air fryer, place it in the air fryer with an oven safe dish on top of it so it doesn't fly around or fold up. I use a little creme brûlée dish to set on top of mine. I like mine crisp but you can bake/air fry it to your liking. I do mine for about 6-8 minutes (flipping 1/2 way) at 350 in the air fryer.
If you use an oven, I would do 400 for the same time, flipping half way through with tongs, keep an eye out because you don't want it to burn, you just want it light brown and crisp.
3. While that bakes, heat up your 1/4 cup of refried beans. Set aside.
4. Squeeze a 1/2 of a fresh lime into your cabbage slaw. I also heat this up because I like it a bit softer. 15-20 seconds will do! Set aside.
5. Cut up your 1/2 cup of tomatoes and measure out your cheese. Set all aside.
6. Once tortilla is done, layer it all on! I start with the beans, then add meat, cabbage slaw, cheese, then place the tomatoes all over (because I like to play with my food).
ENJOY! Feel free to pin or share! And if you make it, tell me how you like it, snap a pic and tag me!
PS: All that is missing is a fresh margarita....soon enough friends, soon enough!
