Is what I’m reading correct: a serving size is 3 1/2 cups? Or is the entire amount prepared 3-1/2 cups? Then a serving would be 6 oz . Thank you
Hi Mary, one serving is 3.5 cups
After reviewing the recipe again and looking at the picture it appears you place the meat on the plate first then top with the lettuce followed by the othere toppings.
We loved it. I added hot chilli powder to the turkey mince as we love hot food. Apart from that we followed the recipe except my husband asked for white tortilla strips to be added to the dish (he does not follow low carb diets) as he runs marathons! We will definitely make again
Greetings from your friends in Brisbane Australia.

Hi Kriste,
You can find all of the nutritional information right above the ingredients 🙂
Is this 3.5 cups of meat and then the topping? Trying to import into MyFitness Pal.
Hi Reagan, 3.5 cups is for an entire serving which includes all the ingredients. Not just meat.
