Easy Chicken Taco Recipe #Nutrisystem

This is a super quick and easy way to jazz up your taco and make it extra healthy as well. One thing that I’ve found with my family, they don’t question whether or not it’s healthy as long as it tastes good.  This recipe is a great way to include nutritional food in their diet.  🙂

Here’s some nutritional information that shows that making some minor changes in your recipe can have some major benefits!

First, you can save 40 calories just by switching to fat-free cottage cheese.  A 1/2-cup serving of fat-free cottage cheese has only 80 calories (compared to a 1/2-cup serving of 4% fat product that has about 120 calories).

Next, you can save almost 100 calories just by using a whole wheat tortilla.  A wheat tortilla (six-inch diameter) has only 53 calories. compared to a flour tortilla that has 150 calories.

Then, add lean chicken breast and healthy vegetables, and you’ve got yourself an quick and easy and healthy meal!

Brats ‘n beer are a favorite in the Midwest. These yummy sausages are a hearty addition to any backyard barbecue. Since we’re vacationing at my family’s lake house, I couldn’t resist cooking up some local flavor.

INGREDIENTS

• Package of raw bratwursts
• 4 cans of cheap beer (any type, cheap beer works just fine and doesn’t waste the good stuff 😉 )

DIRECTIONS

• Pour 4 cans of beer into a large pan
• Place raw brats in beer so they’re completely covered
• Boil beer ‘n brats over high heat until brats turn a grey color. (They’re red when they’re raw)
• Drain beer into sink and barbecue brats until cooked thoroughly
• Serve in a brat bun (wheat or white – similar to a hot dog but, but usually larger) with your favorite condiments: ketchup, mustard, relish, sour kraut, etc.
• Enjoy!
