You only need one large pan or wok to cook up this hearty yet healthy Mexican recipe. Place your pan on the stove top and heat up avocado oil over high heat. Add sliced onions and cook for about three minutes. Add sliced mushrooms, minced garlic cloves, sliced zucchini, sliced bell pepper, chopped kale and cooked prawns. Cook for about four minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the prawns are cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then add apple cider vinegar, taco seasoning, sliced jalapeno and cayenne pepper to the skillet. Cook for three minutes, until fragrant. Top with a shredded Mexican cheese blend and serve immediately.
The Palm Pro Tip: Can’t find prawns? You can easily swap in plain cooked shrimp of any size. Feel free to also add in other non-starchy veggies that you love, such as tomatoes, cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles and other types of peppers. If you have some net carbs to spare for the day, try adding in some corn, black beans or sweet potatoes. You can also serve it up with a side of avocado if you’d like to add another Healthy Fat.
