Diet Recipes for Bibb Lettuce

Tavern Tacos: Grab a can of delicious black beans. Add 1 Tablespoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin and a shot of your favorite salsa. Heat until hot in the microwave. Also make a large salad containing Bibb Lettuce that is finely chopped, cherry tomatoes cup in half or you can use chopped tomatoes, and a bit of chopped onions.

To assemble the Tavern Tacos drain the beans and fill a warm corn shell with the black beans. Top with a large mound of the salad. Add shredded cheese if desired and a dollop of sour cream - either light or full-blown. Regular sour cream contains only 20 calories more than light.

Serve with your favorite salsa. You can also use flour tortillas if you prefer them over corn.

Fried Chicken Salad: Next time you go to McDonald's grab a few extra Chicken McNuggets. Warm them in the microwave and toss them into a salad mix of finely chopped lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sliced cucumber, a few dried cranberries and chopped walnuts. Drizzle salad with your favorite low calorie honey mustard salad dressing or other light variety of salad dressing. Enjoy a few croutons and real bacon bits in the salad if desired.

The Chicken McNuggets contain a skinny 50 calories each and reheat very well. You can also use frozen chicken tenders for the salad and simply cut them into small pieces if desired.
