If you need to feed a crowd and want to keep everyone happy AND keep yourself on track, this is your solution! Throw this in the slow cooker while you enjoy some pregame chill-time. Serve it buffet-style with some easy-peasy taco slaw (recipe below) and a choice of add-ons: black beans, brown rice, avocado, tomatoes, sour cream, lime wedges, tortillas. Whatever your guests’ needs – gluten-free, dairy-free, slow-carb, low-carb, all-the-carbs – everyone is covered! Buffet-style entertaining is an easy way to keep yourself on track with real food, fat-burning meals without having to prepare two different meals.
If you’re looking to stay lean or get lean and keep cravings in check, include some protein, fat, and slow-burning carbs on your plate. For this meal, your best bet would be pork, some avocado or sour cream, a hefty pile of the slaw, and some beans. Skip the processed carb tortillas, and if you really want some rice, keep the portion small.
