Happy Cinco de Mayo!!! Going with the theme for today, I had the mocha smoothie from off the Clean website, then for lunch I used some left over brown rice from last night, topped it with some of my chicken from last night, then made a fresh guacamole. Sliced some cukes, sprinkled with s&p and cumin.
My Guac
sea salt- a generous 3 finger pinch
lime juice from 1-2 limes
1 clove garlic, minced
pepper to taste
small handful cilantro, chopped
avocado, 2-3
In your bowl, add the salt, pepper, and lime juice. Allow it to sit while you get the rest
of your ingredients ready. A lot of this is to taste- you can tailor it to your liking.
Usually I pit, score, and scoop my avocados next- tossing them in the salted lime
juice. Add in the minced garlic and cilantro, and stir.
You are ready to eat.
You can add in green onion, chili, whatever suits your fancy.
I also made a fresh lemon-lime aid. Several slices of lemon and lime in a cup, I squeeze them a bit first so the juices run into the glass. Top with filtered water and a few drops of liquid stevia. Yum.
Dinner time! And what do you have on the Cinco? Tacos of course! The rest of the fam had regular tortillas, but I had a lettuce wrap with a lot of the same fixin's. The guac from earlier makes a reappearance. This is just ground turkey cooked with some onion, garlic, and my home made taco seasoning. It has some smoked paprika in it which is really nice. Also made a cashew (sour) cream to have on top. That really was a must-have!
I think this is the taco seasoning recipe I used. I omitted the red chili flake since we have littles in the house, and used smoked paprika instead of regular. I make several batches at once and store it for later.
This is the Cashew Cream recipe I used as a guideline. I did not add the curry or other herbs, but made a very plain version to start with. I think I did use some dried parsley.
