Once upon a Taco...

Tacos... who knew they could be a excellent "eating right" choice of food, but they can be! No joke!!
I have found that if I make a nice breakfast taco it out lasts cereal hands down!
Here how:
Start off with a good low cal breakfast meat, that right meat!
 ie, cut up one 98% fat free Oscar Myer turkey hot dog - 40 cal
                            or
      2-3 slices thin ham -- 35-40 cal
                             or
       2 slices turkey bacon -- 30 cal
                             or
       if you cant deal with the "low fat/cal meat" then cook up some pork sausage, keep it in the fridge and  measure out 30-40 cal worth ( check package for serving size and calories)

Add a dash of chopped green onion ( optional) for a bit more pzazz to your taco. -- 0 cal

Not all tortillas are created equal!
Look for a calorie torilla around 100-110 cal.

Scramble one egg - 70 cal.

Add in  cheddar cheese, about 30-40 cal worth ( check labels for portion size)


This is a total of 250 cal a taco, add a half a banana (~50 cal) or a 1 cup strawberries ( for a healthy, filling breakfast under 300 calories!!
