My Plate: Taco Bowls
You know how it goes, I snap a quick picture of one of my plates and break down the details for you!
I’m sure by now you’ve caught on to the fact that nothing I make is super complicated, I can’t even call what I make recipes because let’s be real - I keep it super simple! If you’re looking for another healthy, easy meal to add to your meal rotation, this is perfect for busy nights, also great for adding taco shells for the family (not making a whole new meal, just plating it differently!).
Let’s break it down!
I’m not a huge fan of meal prepping - I’m more of an ingredient kind of girl, so I prep and shop for foods by proteins, veggies, fruits, fiber filled carbs, healthy fats, and accessories. It makes it super simple to put together and build my plate according to the proportions my meal plan calls for. Dinner is always 75% veggies, 25% protein, which is why I built my taco into a bowl. I’m never creating whole new meals for myself or my family, I just plate it differently. They added a tortilla shell to theirs, and I built my bowl on greens and veggies.
Let’s build a taco bowl:
VEGGIES: I start with roasting whatever veggies (I just use parchment paper, avocado oil spray, garlic powder, salt and pepper). On this night we made peppers, zucchini, asparagus, and red onion. Use what you love! Get a little creative! One of my clients built her taco bowl on spaghetti squash and said it was delicious! Grab a bowl, fill it up with whatever greens you love, I used butter lettuce this night. Add your cooked veggies.
PROTEIN: My taco meat really is hands down, the best ever! You really should try it! Siete taco seasoning is our absolute favorite! I use two packs and follow the instructions - except instead of using water, I use chicken bone broth and let me tell you, it adds SO much flavor! Also, more protein and nutrients!
ACCESSORIES: I love to use pico, salsa, and lime juice as my dressing. Avocado adds so much flavor, and a great healthy fat! On this night I also used the Jalapeño sauce from Siete. Whenever looking for my dressings or accessories in a meal, my meal plan calls for guidelines to keep the extras in proportion in a super balanced, simple way (rather than counting macros, calories, or points). Lime and lemon juice is so great for adding flavor, or adding to dressings/sauces.
There you go! Just another super simple, healthy meal idea from my plate to yours! If you’d like to hear more about what nutrition plan I follow and love, comment or email me at nicoleklaverwellness@gmail.com and I’ll share all the details with you! ENJOY! xx
