We love Mexican food!! Sadly it’s usually out of bounds during dieting. This is a nice alternative that will keep your cravings for Mexican satisfied.

• ½ large yellow onion chopped
• ½ red pepper chopped
• 1 tsp. oregano
• 2 tsp. chili pepper
• ½ tsp. black pepper
• 1 packet stevia
• 1 small can of diced tomatoes drained (herb and garlic flour is nice – no oil!)
• Salt to taste
• 6 leaves of romaine lettuce

What you do:

1. Spray a medium sized pot with PAM and heat on mid high heat.
2. Add onions and peppers and cook until onions are transparent.
3. Add all other ingredients except for canned tomatoes and lettuce
4. Mix everything together in the pot and cook until the ground chicken/turkey is done.
5. Remove from heat and drain any excess liquid.
6. Bring it back on the stovetop, reduce heat to medium low and add the canned tomatoes.
7. Cook an additional 5 minutes. Remove from stove and serve.
8. You can use romaine leaves as “taco” shells and add chicken mixture inside each leaf or simply chop up the lettuce and add mixture on top and serve as a salad.
