Notes

Tips:
  • Soft corn tortillas are whole grain & lower in carbs. Wheat tortillas are typically higher in carbs. Adjust the type of tortilla for your training and nutrition needs.
  • Tortillas labeled 'high fiber' or low carb often have significant amounts of fiber added- proceed with caution or know your local port-o-pot locations if you don't do well with high amounts of fiber.
  • Skip the tortillas and make this into a bowl - add greens, rice, beans, etc. Whatever makes your belly happy. 
 
How to use:
For athletes: Adjust your # of tacos eaten on hunger & mileage. Add some rice on the side if you need more carbs.
For healthy eating: Add a side salad for some extra veggies. 
For kids: You will likely need to omit the sriracha unless your kids can take the heat!
