I received this from Registered Dietitian Jayson Hunter and author of the Dress Size Reduction Diet. It is a new look at an old food. Meals don’t have to be boring as Jayson describes below.
"I was in the airport last week and found something on a menu called the Fiesta Burger. It got me thinking that you could just as easily make a healthy version of this menu item and I wanted to share a few ideas with you to beat your meal time boredom.
I gave it a try and I have to say it added some great flavor to an ordinary burger.
If you are looking for some new recipe ideas then give the fiesta burger a try.
The fiesta burger is a normal hamburger topped with some salsa.
You could choose your own salsa whether it be mild, medium or hot salsa depending on your love of spicy foods.
It can also fit on a high carb, low carb or no carb day just by choosing whether or not you have a bun or not with it.
It actually doesn’t need a bun if you have the salsa with the hamburger patty.
You could also try this combination with chicken as well.
Some other suggestions I received from my subscribers was to try a burger with fat free feta cheese, garlic, a few other spices. Cook it on the grill. Then topped it with sauted onions and portabello mushrooms……no bun. Finish off the plate with a small amount of oven cooked sweet potato "french fries", roasted asparagus, and a salad."
Great ideas and I’m sure you have a few more. Just make sure to choose the extra-lean beef patties when you make your tasty burger.
