What’s for Dinner? How about FISH TACOS on homemade Collagen Cauliflower Tortillas!
Have you ever found yourself in front of your refrigerator thinking:
- what have I got?
- What can I make that’s healthy and quick?
- Uggggghhhh but NOT just another salad!
Well, that’s where I was earlier this week. As I looked around my kitchen and here’s what I had:
- CB Supplements Multi-Collagen Powder (duh)
- Frozen flounder (it had to have been 4 months old)
- A big a&@ bag of cauliflower rice (this as a staple for me)
- Shredded cabbage (½ a bag after I I had used the other ½ in a chicken salad earlier in the week)
- A few tomatoes
- An onion
- A lime
- Last bits of some greek yogurt
I thought, ‘I can make fish tacos and Collagen-infused Cauliflower Rice Tortillas with this!!!!’ I headed downstairs to Earthfare to pick up some organic cilantro and cage-free eggs for my tortillas. While I was there I took a look at the pre-made tortilla options to see if any of them would rival the nutrition in my homemade cauliflower version.
I came close to getting an almond flour version from Siete Foods. They were 100 calories and 8g carbs per tortilla (which ain’t bad!) but they were $8.50 a pack. So, I decided to stick with my economical plan for making some homemade collagen infused 70 cal, 1.8net carb, 8g protein no-additional-cost to me tortillas. (*also, you can double the recipe and freeze a few for next time!)
There are SO many benefits to taking additional collagen. Everything from shiny hair, a quicker work-out recovery time, to a healthy gut. But in ADDITION those benefits, there are so many fun Culinary benefits too! Collagen has a ‘flour-like’ texture, minimal flavor. natural ‘binding’ qualities that make it a PERFECT ingredient in recipes like this one. It keeps the ingredients bound together without significantly increasing carbs or calories ! #blesssssss.
