We LOVE Mexican food but let's be honest ... sugary margaritas, fried tortilla chips and cheesy finishes aren't going to make us want to jump into a bikini any time soon! And it's summerrrrr ladies!! So today we have a total fake out for you. All the deliciousness we crave but grilled, loaded with veggies & topped with homemade poblano guacamole to keep our taste buds & our waistlines happy.
Does it get any better than this?! Just as beautiful as it is delicious.
This tasty combination starts with grilled corn, red onions, poblano & diced zucchini. We mix in fresh diced tomatoes & chopped cumin, chili chicken and season with fresh cilantro. Feel free to top this off this with our homemade poblano guacamole all under 500 calories. WIN-WIN!
