Shrimp and Mango Tacos

8 Servings of 1/4 cup of shrimp filing. Weight Watchers Points + 2 ~ Calories 82.3 ~ Fat 1.2 g ~ Carbs 11.2 g ~ Fiber 2.0 g ~ Protein 7.6 g *** Entire TACO 5 points!

Shrimp & Mango Tacos were inspired by my hubby. I needed some inspiration to be creative with dinner and while texting my husband back & forth, I asked him to give me inspiration. He said “make something with mangos and jalapenos” So, this is what I came up with & it was delish! Mexican Food is really yummy but making it “figure friendly” is always a challenge. The nutrition below is for the Shrimp & Mango mixture only. I ONLY use La Tortilla factory low carb/high fiber tortilla s since they are WW 1 pp+ . I do realize that they are difficult to find….so this is why I only calculated the shrimp mixture. My entire taco was 5 points, and I only ate one because it was so filling. The leftovers tasted even better because all the flavors married together. We had the leftovers about 3 days later and I added rainbow salad mixture to my taco for a little crunch. Try out my easy homemade guacamole recipe to top off your taco! ENJOY! Read More…

Huevos Rancheros Cups

Makes 6 Huevos Rancheros Cups. Weight Watchers Points + 4 ~ Calories 163.4 ~ Fat 8.9 g ~ Carbohydrate 8.9 g ~ Fiber 4.5 g ~ Protein 13.7 g

Craving some Mexican for breakfast? So was I when I created these Huevos Rancheros Cups for breakfast. This dish is perfect for Sunday brunch. All the flavors compliment each other and reminded me of our vacation at the Riviera Maya…. Making them in the muffin tins ensure perfect portion control. Leftovers can be easily warmed in the microwave for a quick grab & go breakfast. A dish that looks fancy, but is super simple to put together.

Churrasco Steak

Makes 8 servings. Nutrition per 4 oz Steak: Weight Watchers Points + 4 ~ Calories 181.8 ~ Total Fat 8.4 g ~ Carbohydrate 0.7 g ~ Fiber 0.0 g ~ Protein 24.0 g

The way to my husband’s heart is definitely through his stomach…..and this steak is probably one of his all time favorites. A great cut of Skirt Steak is needed for this recipe. I usually purchase this from Whole Foods and they trim it so there is barely any fat on the strip. I serve this up with Cilantro Lime Rice, Black Beans, Sweet Plantains and a side of Chimichurri sauce. Leftovers of the steak were moist & I ate it as a steak sandwich at work the next day.
