Some of the ST Instafit Meals I come up with are meals that I regularly have while others are meals that I want to have. I?ve been craving tacos for a while so I was planning on making a healthier version of tacos for my next blog. While at the grocery store, I guess I was so focused on picking healthier ingredients for the tacos that I completely forgot to look for shells. Because it just so happened that I was by the tortilla section when I realized this and since I was short on time, I decided to call an audible and make the switch to fajitas (don?t worry, we?ll still have taco night soon).
Fajitas is one of those meals?similar to pizza?that isn?t as unhealthy as you think it is until you start adding all the extra stuff. At the basic level, fajitas is just tortillas, meat, grilled veggies, and maybe some cheese and salsa. But when you add the sour cream and guacamole along with the side of rice and beans your looking at a 1000 calorie meal, easy! Then factor in that most restaurant tortillas are made with lard (pure pig fat?yummy right?) and the meat and vegetables are covered in oil, you can easily reach your daily calorie limit?in one meal!
For the tortilla, I went with a small sized, low-carb version because it has the least amount of calories. Grilled chicken breast is half the calories of skirt steak but if you want to make steak fajitas add 60cal, just be sure not to add any oil while cooking either?trust me, you won?t need it. Light sour cream has 20cal less per serving than the regular version. The mushrooms, green peppers and onions has very few calories (I estimate it to be under 10cal) so most of these calories comes from the PAM spray which is 7cal per spray.
INGREDIENTS
- Tortillas: 140 (70cal each)
- Grilled Chicken Breast (2oz): 60cal
- Low-Fat Shredded Cheese (1/4 cup): 45cal
- Grilled Vegetables (with Pam Spray): 30cal
- Light Sour Cream (2tbsp): 40cal
- Salsa (2 tbsp): 15cal
The total calories for two fajitas (above) is 330 calories. Depending on how many calories you should be taking in each meal, below are some examples on how to adjust the ingredients to get your calorie count:
- 300 calories per meal: use 1/2 serving of light sour cream or 1/8 cup of low-fat shredded cheese
- 400 calories per meal: use skirt steak instead of chicken or use medium tortillas (around 100cal each)
- 500 calories per meal: add a 3rd fajita
PREPARATION
- Heat up two small cooking pans for the chicken and the vegetables
- While cooking pans are heating up, prepare the chicken into strips and cut the vegetables
- Once cooking pans are hot put the chicken and vegetables in separate pans (add 3 sprays of PAM cooking oil to vegetables)
- Once the chicken and vegetables are ready put them on the tortillas then add cheese, sour cream and salsa (try heating up the tortillas so they are warm)
