My Surgeons office held a cooking class that gave us a few recipes and tips for cooking when you have had WLS. They showed us how to prepare the food and we were able to try samples.  

I love love steak, and before the class, I haden’t had it since before surgery!! I can't wait to make it with steak next time, but the Chicken is just as delish! It took me about 30 minutes from the time I pulled the ingredients out of the fridge to table. This is definitely a new favorite.  

The Chef suggested that if you buy skirt steak to buy it untrimmed and trim it yourself. If you know how to trim your own fat it can save you $4 or more per lb.

Did you eat the whole thing!? Looks like it could feed 3 people that had the surgery and MAN...IT LOOKS SOOOOOO YUMMY! I would most likely only get thru about a 1/4 of it. 4 months PO and I still can't eat more than about 2-3 oz per sitting...

Thanks for sharing the receipe. I'm gonna try it this weekend!

This wrap had about 2oz of chicken in it, I tried to fini**** because it was so good, but that didnt happen!

Thank goodness for leftovers!!

Okay...I'm now officially hungry...LOL!

Wow this looks good

nom nom nom! thanks for sharing

I can't wait to try it, thanks for sharing!

Thanks, I love food porn.  That looks delicious, I am going to have to make it for dinner tomorrow night.  Thanks again.

Looks yummy, I will have to give this a try. Do you have a suggestion for a substitute for the mango? That is the only thing in the recipe that I don't like.

What? Not like mango? I dont understand........lol/ JK

If you don't like mango, try it with Tomato or regular salsa, should be still just as good! Its the seasoning of the meat thats the best of this recipe.

That looks good!! gonna try it! 

I've also gotten into wraping my sandwhiches in lettuce opposed to using bread. Last week i had a turkey mushroom burger with lettuce bun (well a 1/3 or one) from Red Robin (dangerous place to go because of the bottomless fries, but I got a side of steamed brocolli) while out celebrating my BFF's birthday. It was good. I had to shed some of the lettuce though. It was a bit much. Yeah and I ate 2 or 3 fries.

That is a really good Idea, I think I will start doing the same!

Thanks!

I'll be having this for dinner tonight. I can't wait to have a little steak! Thanks for idea and recipe.
