MEXICAN MEAL PREP FOR WEIGHT LOSS: POLLO CON ELOTE EN SALSA TATEMADA
20 mins prepServes 4
This is one of my favorite dishes and it only requires simple ingredients! It’s so low calorie you can add toppings or a side of choice! I love to add tortillas, non fat Greek yogurt, avocado, or some queso fresco!
1. Roast the tomatillos, tomatoes, 1/4 of an onion, jalapeños, and 3 garlic cloves using your preferred method (I char them on a comal).
2. Once done, blend the roasted vegetables with low sodium chicken bouillon, 1/2 cup water, seasonings to taste, and a handful of cilantro. Traditionally this salsa is chunky but you may blend until smooth.
3. Slice the remainder of the onion, chop the zucchini, and drain the corn.
4. Grease a pan and cook the chicken for 6 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and the remaining garlic.
5. Add the sliced onions and cook for 3 minutes.
6. Add the corn and salsa. Cook for 3 minutes.
7. Add the zucchini. Mix well. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes and add additional seasonings if needed.
8. Each serving is 1.25 cup of guisado. Serve with low carb tortillas and 28 grams of queso fresco.
