Carb-lite TexMex

It used to be that TexMex meant chips and queso, yellow rice, black beans, multiple high-carb tortillas or taco shells and beef. Now it means chicken or turkey, lots of veggies, one low-carb tortilla each and green salad.  Tonight was chicken marinated in mesquite seasoning and lime juice, sliced and cooked in about 1 tsp of olive oil.  We sliced green bell, poblano, and anaheim peppers and some onions and cooked them in about 1 tsp olive oil.  These were served on low carb tortillas with low-fat shredded cheddar, light sour cream, and salsa; and a side of green salad. Quick and easy meal, and just as filling as the mountains of food we used to eat before.  Good stuff.

And a perfect indication of how our lives have changed.
