Light, filling Mexican recipes for a small appetite

Everyday Mexican dishes in lighter versions, for breakfasts, lunches, and dinners when your appetite is small: eggs with beans, nopal tacos, tuna tostadas, lime soup, and tortilla soup. The tortilla strips in the soups are baked instead of fried, Greek yogurt stands in for mayonnaise, and every plate includes chicken, tuna, eggs, beans, or queso fresco for protein.

The numbers on each card are per serving and are not eyeballed: they add up the per-100 g values of each ingredient in the food database, which come from USDA FoodData Central. If you take a GLP-1 medication and fill up fast, start each plate with the protein and leave the sides for last.
