Lazy Tacos

I have been taking my lunch to work almost every day since I joined Weight Watchers.  I am determined to become healthier and one of the things I know I need to change is my diet.  I am adding more lean meats and green vegetables to my diet.  Unfortunately, I am not a morning person so when I forget to prepare something the night before I have to get creative the next day.  I developed this quick and easy meal one day and I liked it well enough that I make it fairly often.

This recipe can be modified to your taste and cooking style.
  1. Take 3 soft corn tortillas and toss them in a plastic container with a lid.
  2. Place mixed salad greens, lettuce, onions, or any other kind of raw vegetable in a separate container.
  3. Place frozen grilled chicken strips into a 1 cup sized container.  Sprinkle cumin, chili powder, and dried cilantro on top of the frozen chicken.
  4. When it's time to eat, microwave the soft corn tortillas for 20 to 30 seconds.  Microwave the chicken for about 1 minute or until completely heated.  Stir the chicken and seasonings when it is hot.  Assemble your lazy tacos and eat.

I'm sure you can use flour tortillas but I prefer corn and the corn tortillas are less points.  Of course you can use thawed chicken if you are better at me than remembering to thaw it first.

Some of the best recipes are those created at the spur of the moment. Enjoy!
