Out of all the rotisserie chicken recipes I’ve seen online, I don’t know how I’ve never come across this one. It’s a classic Mexican recipe I grew up eating, and using a rotisserie chicken makes it that much easier. This ensalada de pollo is seriously so flavorful and makes a great meal prep. I like mine on tostadas, but I’ve seen people have it on bread as a sandwich too. The carbs shown include the tostadas, so if you want to lower them, use a lower-carb tostada or enjoy the salad by itself. Once it’s ready, keep it covered in the fridge and enjoy it over the next two to three days. Easy meals ready to go!

Delicious easy Mexican food meal prep! Bistec con papas en chile rojo! The spiciness of the dish is a little hotter than mild. If you want more spice add more chiles de arbol. For the sauce start by roasting 5 tomatillos and 2 garlic cloves. I toasted mine in my air fryer at 400 degrees for 20min turning them 3-4 times. Once those are soft take them out and roast your dried chiles. These will be a lot quicker 1-2min per side and they are ready! You want some color to them just be careful not to burn them! Transfer everything to your blender, add 1.5 cups of water salt to taste and then blend until smooth. For the meat use 1.5lbs of palomilla steak. Cut into thick strips against the grain. Heat a pan on medium heat and spray with zero calorie cooking spray. Add your meat and season with cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. As far as how much, measure with your heart. Once it’s browned and released some juices add your potatoes, cover with a lid for 5 min then add your sauce! Bring it to a simmer, throw the lid back on, set the heat on low for 7min let it cool and it's ready to serve! To portion, do your best to separate the sauce from the meat and potatoes and reintroduce the sauce once you've got it portioned. Each portion will be 10.5oz without sauce. Ingredients 1.5lbs Palomilla steak 500g Yukon gold potatoes 2 chiles pouya 12 chiles de arbol 1 chile morita 5 tomatillos 2 garlic cloves Salt Pepper Garlic powder Garlic salt Paprika #fyp #mexicanfood #food #bajardepeso #weightloss

Should you track your meat raw or cooked? Either way, make sure the weight matches the nutrition information you’re using. Weighing it raw and using the raw macros takes the guesswork out. But tracking cooked portions makes meal prep so much easier. Here’s how I do it: For your batch’s actual conversion, weigh your meat before and after cooking. Cooked batch weight ÷ raw batch weight = your conversion factor Example: 1,000 g raw → 750 g cooked 750 ÷ 1,000 = 0.75 That means a 150 g cooked portion came from 200 g raw: 150 ÷ 0.75 = 200 g You’d log 200 g using that meat’s raw nutrition information. For a quick estimate, my meat usually ends up around 75% of its raw weight. Here’s the math: Raw weight × 0.75 = estimated cooked weight Cooked weight ÷ 0.75 = estimated raw weight 4 oz raw → approximately 3 oz cooked 6 oz raw → approximately 4.5 oz cooked 8 oz raw → approximately 6 oz cooked 200 g raw → approximately 150 g cooked You’re multiplying the meat’s WEIGHT by 0.75, not its protein, carbs, or fat. The 75% rule is an estimate based on my experience. Test it with your next batch and tell me how close yours comes out!

Mexican Food! Mexican Food! For the meat, boil 2lbs of chicken breast with 3 bay leaves, half an onion, salt, 3 cloves of garlic, and fresh ground pepper! Let them cook until they reach 165 degrees internal temperature. Remove them and let them cool for a bit, then shred them! For the sauce, in the same pot that you boiled your chicken breast, add 2 medium Roma tomatoes, and remove them once the skin breaks. When the chicken is done, transfer the garlic, onion, and tomatoes to your blender! Add 1 tsp of “better than bouillon”, 2 cups of the water you boiled your chicken in, 1 can of chipotle peppers, salt, pepper, and a pinch of oregano. Blend till it's smooth! In a frying pan add some zero cal cooking spray and half an onion thinly sliced! Once the onion is softened toss in your shredded chicken breast and your sauce. Stir it until the chicken is completely covered in sauce, bring it to a simmer, cover your pan and let it sit off heat for around 10min! To portion it, weigh out the tinga once it's all cooked and divide that by 5 to get 5 even portions! Mine weighed 48oz so that came out to 5 portions each weighing 9.6oz. For the chips, cut up 4 mission low-carb tortillas into triangles spray them with zero-cal cooking spray and air fry till they are crispy. Usually takes around 3-4min per side at 400 degrees!

Healthy delicious chicken salad to help you stay on track with those weight loss goals! For the meat, you will use 1.5 lbs of either chicken breast or tenderloins. Season both sides generously with my seasoning mix. Spray both sides with zero cal cooking spray and air fry for 10 minutes at 400 degrees or until your internal temp hits 165 degrees- flipping them once. In a large bowl shred the meat and that's it! For the seasoning in a shaker bottle mix 2tsp chipotle powder 2tsp chili powder 1tsp onion powder 1tsp garlic powder 1tsp salt 1tsp pepper 1tsp cayenne 1tsp paprika For the sauces, you will add 3 tbs of Mayonnaise con limon and 3 tbs of 0% Greek yogurt to your chicken and give that a good mix! After you add all your veggies, then you will add 3 tbs of low-fat mayo and mix it all. For the veggies, start by peeling 1 large carrot (180g) and 2 Yukon gold potatoes (210g). Next, chop them up into small squares and toss them in some boiling water for 10 minutes! You want them to be soft but not mushy! Next, drain them and season generously with more of my seasoning mix and some more salt to taste. Now for the lettuce, chop up half a small head of lettuce and add it to your liking, 1 cup of corn, some chopped-up jalapenos, and jalapeno juice to liking. To portion out, weigh the salad once it's all mixed together in grams and divide that number by 3 and that's how much each serving will weigh. Should be around 470ish grams per serving. For the tostadas spray some zero-calorie cooking spray on 3 low carb tostadas and air fry at 400 till they are crispy flipping them once. This usually takes 3-4min per side! Ingredients 1.5lbs chicken breast or tenderloins 3tbs 0% greek yogurt 3tbs low fat mayo 3tbs mayonnaise con limon 1 cup of corn 1/4 head of lettuce Jalapeños with juice 210g Carrot 210g Yukon Gold potatoes Macros per serving w/ 3 low carb tortillas 534 Calories 52g Protein 41g Carbs 18g Fat . #fyp #protein #chicken #protein #mexicanfood #weightloss #food
