I like to cook 96% lean ground beef with taco mix. It only has 4 grams of fat.

Put a scoop on top of lettuce and tomatoes.

For dressing I use salsa mixed with light sour cream. Add Frank's hot sauce if you like it spicy. Lots of flavor, low fat and low carb.

I also like to microwave spaghetti squash. Then I add a small drizzle of olive oil ,garlic, a little grated parmesean cheese, and tomato sauce.

I have lost a ton of weight and these are 2 of my favorite things to eat.

If you want crazy fast, get a healthier wrap, add lettuce, some chicken, some lower fat Caesar dressing, roll it up and you have a chicken Caeser wrap.

If you have a food processor, it's really easy to make your own hummus also.
