Corned beef and cabbage tacos







1 serving ( 4 mini tacos) 

Zucchini taco shell recipe below
 ( 4 mini shells = 2 greens ; 1/2 lean )

1 cup grated zucchini
1/4 cup egg beaters
3/8 cup reduced fat mixed cheese

preheat oven to 400

Grate 1 cup zucchini in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and let stand for 15 minutes then squeeze all the excess water out.
Mix all the above ingredients together with zucchini and make 4 mini circles (1/3 cup) on a cookie sheet that has parchment paper that is sprayed with non stick spray.(picture above) bake for approximately 30 minutes. flipping 1/2 way.  This picture is 2 servings. 

2.5 oz. cooked corned beef trimmed very good. 
1/2 cup raw cabbage ( you can use cooked but I prefer the crunch) 
3 teaspoons Dijon mustard or horseradish 

Cook your trimmed corned beef in your crock pot till nice and tender; approximately 6 hours on high. It should fall apart nicely when it’s done. 
Shred your cabbage; I use 3/4 cup green and 3/4 cup purple. 

Divide your 1/2 cup cabbage among your shells then add your 2.5 oz. corned beef among your 4 shells and top with your mustard or horseradish. 

Corned beef is high in sodium so only eat occasionally. 
Easy St. Patrick’s day meal. 

With the shells and filling 
1 lean
3 greens
3 condiments

Cottage cheese chips

Image
1 serving  Each serving provides  1/2 leaner 1 condiment  3/4 cup 2% cottage cheese  1/2 teaspoon everything but bagel seasoning  Preheat oven to 350. Mixed the 2 items together. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick spray. Put 1/2 teaspoon mounds on cookie sheet and bake for approximately 8 minutes. Always double check oven because every oven is different. It also depends on if you want them more cooked. Cook just till they start to brown around the edges. Take out of oven; cool just for a minute or so then gently pull off. They will get crispy. Approximately 24 chips but that depends on your size and how many you eat before you count!  As you can see some of mine got very brown experimenting with the correct time in oven.
