Hi all,
I had these tonight for my fast day dinner & thought I would share the recipe for anyone who enjoys Mexican food! I made extras for my lunch tomorrow as it’s a good mixture of protein, healthy fat & lots of nutrition from the veggies. You can find pics of the dish on my blog here:

Ingredients (serves 1 – I doubled up as a lot of the ingredients are ‘halves’ so I just saved the remainder for tomorrow’s lunch!)
-1/2 avocado: 150 cals
-150g turkey, diced: 165 cals
-1/2 red onion, diced: 25 cals
-Juice of 1/2 lime: 10 cals
-7 plum/cherry tomatoes, halved/quartered: 16 cals
-1 whole red pepper, sliced: 37 cals
-1 garlic clove, finely chopped: 4 cals
-Cos leaves, washed, drained & patted dry: 25 cals
-Chilli flakes
-Pinch of salt
-1 tbs fajita mix (I use Discovery): 25 cals or a 1 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp each of garlic salt, cumin, cayenne pepper, regular pepper
Total calories: 457
-For the Guacamole:
Mash the guacamole with a tbs of the red onion, garlic clove & lime juice.
-For the Salsa:
Mix the cherry tomatoes with the chilli flakes (to taste) & the pinch of sale.
-For the Turkey:
‘Water’ fry the red onion for a few minutes.
Coat the turkey with your spice mix & add to the onions (top up with water as needed so that it is continuously ‘water’ frying & not getting dry/burnt) for 3 minutes.
Add the peppers & continue to fry all the ingredients for 2 minutes.
And that’s it!
Load up your cos leaf, roll, eat & repeat! I used 5 large cos leaves in total to use up my mixtures.
