Having a taco with a chicken filet instead of a shell is probably blasphemy in some groups, but Naked Chicken Tacos, are actually pretty darn good! Turning the monotony of a pre-cooked diet meal into something you wouldn’t even know is good for you!

I’m all about wrapped up with my Personal Trainer Food this year, and I’ve lost a good amount of weight – I’m not even sure how much because I haven’t checked, but the photos I’ve been taking (I’ll share next week) definitely show a difference!

Towards the end of the month, I’ve got to admit it’s been tough staying with it. What’s really helped me is getting creative with my meals. Their spicy chicken filets are amazing, and a great candidate for turning them into something special.

Whether you’re eating this Naked Chicken Taco open-faced, with a fork and a knife, or folding it up and eating, its delicious either way. And don’t skimp on the spicy cilantro crema. It’s a little concoction I came up with based off of my favorite Peruvian restaurant, that is super addicting!
