Avocado chunks
Onion
Peppers
1. BBQ the chicken breasts with cilantro sprinkled on top until done, then dice the chicken.
2. Take the head of lettuce, peeling it leaf by leaf (this is your taco shell)

Easy recipe- virtually little to no carbs.
Over the course of a couple years I had a goal to lose weight. One major problem I faced was that I LOVE FOOD! So instead of cutting myself short of the things I love, I decided to cut a few ingredients in my meals to eat healthier and lose weight. This blog is just to share recipes and things I have learned about nutrition in class and in experience.

Chicken Tortilla Soup Twist
First Recipe! And one of my favorites. Low carb, moderately low fat, and low sodium. This recipe will feed 4, with a little left over.

2 large chicken breasts (diced/uncooked)
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1 medium onion
1 bunch of cilantro
1/2 cup salsa

2 cups of low fat cheese (your choice, I like pepperjack/cheddar)
Seasonings- dash of Oregano, lemon pepper, and garlic powder
1 Tbsp sour cream ( low fat/non fat)
1 Avocado
2 Low carb high fiber tortillas (large ones- Mission brand)
Olive oil or Omega-3 cooking oil (for frying)
1. Bring water in pot to a boil, add the chicken and turn heat down to medium.
2. In a frying pan add the peppers and onions cook until tender.
3. Add the frying pan ingredients into the chicken and water mix.
4. Add Cilantro, salsa and garlic to the pot.
5. In another frying pan (or you can bake) cut the low carb tortillas into small strips and fry in light oil until crispy.
6. Add the cheese lastly to the pot, turn heat down to med./low
7. Add seasonings.
8. Serve soup by adding a dash of sour cream and sliced avacado to the top.
