EASY CHICKEN TACOS (LOW FAT IF YOU CHOOSE SOFT SHELL OVER HARD)



Easy Chicken Tacos (Low Fat if You Choose Soft Shell over Hard) image

I try to avoid cooking with pre-made spices and sauces (some are better than others), so this recipe is based off my re-interpretation of all the good things a taco should be: spicy, tasty, moist, and most of all packed with delicious veggies; using chicken and what I can find in my pantry at a moments notice. You could even simply top a bowl of lettuce and tomatoes with the taco meat and eat it as a taco salad - that would be very low fat!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 25m

Yield 6 tacos, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 lb ground chicken
1/4 large white onion, diced
1/4 cup roasted red pepper, strips chopped (from a jar)
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 medium green pepper, diced small
1/2 teaspoon vegetables or 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt (or less to taste)
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (leave out if you don't like spicy food)
1/4 cup cold water (or chicken broth if you have it)
1 (8 ounce) package fresh organic guacamole
1/4 head lettuce, shredded
1/2 fresh ripe tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup shredded cheese
2 -3 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Prepare your tacos/tortillas as directed on the packaging.
  • Place your onions, green peppers, and oil into a non-stick pan/skillet on medium/medium-high heat and cook until the onions are soft. Add in the garlic and chopped roasted red peppers. Cook until the garlic is fragrant (don't let it burn).
  • Move the veggies to the edge of the pan and place your ground chicken in the center. You'll want to keep breaking apart the meat as it cooks.
  • In the meantime prepare your Taco sauce by combining in a small bowl your spices and corn starch. Then, add water and Tabasco sauce, stir well to combine.
  • Just as the chicken finishes cooking (roughly 5-12 minutes) stir to combine all the veggies and the chicken together, breaking apart any large pieces of chicken. Add your sauce mixture and stir together. The sauce will thicken, coating the chicken mixture, add additional water/broth if needed one tablespoon at a time. Allow the sauce to cook through. Cover and set aside.
  • Now you're ready to assemble your tacos. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the meat mixture into your shells, top with cheese, guacamole, tomatoes, lettuce, and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use Greek yogurt or low-fat sour cream: Greek yogurt is a healthier substitute for sour cream in taco dip. It is lower in fat and calories, but still provides a creamy texture. If you prefer sour cream, opt for a low-fat variety.
  • Choose lean ground beef: Use lean ground beef (90% lean or higher) to reduce the fat content of your taco dip. You can also use ground turkey or chicken for a healthier option.
  • Use whole wheat tortillas: Whole wheat tortillas are a healthier choice than white tortillas. They are higher in fiber and nutrients.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables, such as tomatoes, onions, and peppers, add flavor and nutrients to taco dip. Use a variety of vegetables to make your dip more colorful and flavorful.
  • Use low-fat cheese: Use low-fat cheese to reduce the fat and calorie content of your taco dip. You can also use a blend of low-fat and full-fat cheese for a more flavorful dip.
  • Use low-sodium taco seasoning: Use low-sodium taco seasoning to reduce the sodium content of your taco dip. You can also make your own taco seasoning using chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and other spices.

Conclusion:

Low-fat taco dip is a delicious and healthy appetizer or snack. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own dietary preferences. By using low-fat ingredients, such as Greek yogurt, lean ground beef, and whole wheat tortillas, you can enjoy a tasty taco dip without the guilt.
