low cal | weeknight meal

When that Sri Lankan taco hits just right? Game. Over. 🌶️💥 I’ve been losing and gaining the same 3 pounds on a loop lately, but at least the workouts are getting consistent, the muscle’s muscling, and the flavour? Oh, it’s flavourin’.

These tacos are everything — spicy, juicy, fresh, and seriously addictive. You’ve got ground chicken simmered with garlic, ginger, chili, curry powder, and all those bold Sri Lankan spices. Then it’s topped with a fresh mango salsa that brings the sweet, the tang, and just enough heat to keep things interesting.

Wrap it all up in your go-to 90-cal tortilla and boom — you’ve got a high-protein, high-satisfaction meal that slaps every time. Make one, crush two, and feel zero regrets. 😎💪
