Low carb taco Tuesday. How you ask? Omit the taco shells place the middles in a bowl and you have a fantastic taco salad without all the carbs.

I love chili seasoning and chili powder is actually a fairly healthy seasoning, with significant amounts of several beneficial nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C and minerals. Be very careful thought and read your labels as chili powder can be fairly high in sodium. Or even better yet make your own blend.

I used lean ground beef for the family but you can also use ground chicken, turkey or firm cubed tofu for a vegetarian option.

There are 5.6g net carbs, 39.5g protein and 9 Weight Watchers points.
