Easy Mexican dinner

I personally love this one.

1 whole wheat tortilla
3.5 oz of chicken or pork
1.5 oz of cheese (cheddar or more traditional chihuahua cheese)
1/2 cup of re-fried black beans
1/2 cup of green salsa
1 avocado.

zone blocks- 5 protein, 5 carbohydrate, and 10 fat.

I double my fat intake for energy. Avocados are an excellent source of monounsaturated fat. 1 tablespoon is 1 block of fat. 1/2 of an avocado is 5 blocks.

I only put some garlic salt on the meat, the green salsa makes up for lack of seasoning. I cook the meat than put the tortilla in the skillet followed by the cheese on top and then the meat. when cheese melts fold tortilla and put on plate. add black beans and cover in green salsa, and avocado.
mmmmmm..... total prep time about 20 minutes.

here is what I had for lunch today:
Skillet mixed together -
1/2 onion (chopped)
1/2 green pepper (chopped)
3 eggs
1 oz. cheddar cheese
1 oz. deli ham (sliced)
1/2 can kidney beans
glass of milk
spoonful of peanut butter on side

It may be a bit short on carbs, but it sure does taste good.

Dean, you should invest into individual measuring cups for accuracy. and of course a digital scale if you don't already have one.

This is a great idea! I have a South Beach Diet meal everyday for lunch. Today, I had the pizza (as I do 4/5 days a week). The pizza I had today had the following:
CHO: 35g~ 4blocks
PRO: 29g~ 4blocks
FAT: 13g~ 4blocks (I count 3gms Fat 1 block)
Walmart sells these for about $3. They cook in 3min.
