Step 1

1. Marinate chicken thighs with your desired seasonings (lemon, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, everything but the elote seasoning, and cayenne pepper)

Step 2

2. Cook chicken using your preferred method. I air fry them at 375* F for 10 minutes, flip, and cook for an additional 5-8 minutes depending on size.

Step 3

3. Wash and chop nopales in your preferred size; I cut mine in strips.

Step 4

4. Add the nopales, 1/4 onion, 1 garlic clove, and 1 tbsp salt to a pot. (Tip: add the skin of a tomatillo to decrease the “baba”)

Step 5

5. Cook for 10 minutes or until the nopales turn a dark Stir every 2 minutes.

Step 6

6. Once cooked, add to a strainer with ice and rinse. Make sure all the “baba” is gone. You want your nopales to be clean.

Step 7

7. Chop the remainder of your onion and 3 Roma tomatoes.

Step 8

8. In a bowl add your cooked nopales, onion, tomato, chopped jalapeños (omit if you don’t like spicy), juice of 1-2 lemon, 1 tbsp salt, and oregano to taste. Combine well.

Step 9

9. Cook beans. I have a tutorial in a previous post.

Step 10

10. Assemble your containers. Each meal will have 4 ounces of chicken, 3/4 c beans topped with 28 G fat free cheese, 1 cup nopales salad, and 4 low calorie tortillas.

Step 11

Add any additional sides like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream to taste.
