1. Aquaman Avocado Tuna Tacos

When it comes to food on a hot day, do you really want to stand in front of a grill while it’s 90 plus degrees outside? For days like this I have the perfect protein packed perspiration preventative provision for you.

This burrito combines the cool, delicious taste of avocado with protein-rich tuna. It will not only deliver the protein your body needs to fuel itself and build muscle but, the healthy fats in avocado have been shown to help decrease belly fat. According to research, when compared to other healthy fat sources, avocados:

• Burn off at a much higher rate than other fats
• May increase the rate of fat burning
• Can cause your body to burn more calories after eating

Plus, they're packed with vital nutrients like Vitamin K, Potassium, Vitamin B5, Vitamin E, and more importantly, they provide a cool sensation to your taste buds.

2. Bacon Pineapple BBQ Chicken Tacos

Warmer weather means one thing: firing up the grill. And when it comes to putting more taste in your mouth, nothing beats BBQ grilled chicken. Well, until you add grilled pineapple and bacon to it!

Of all the tacos I’ve made, this is hands down the best. The saltiness of the bacon, the tanginess of the BBQ sauce, and the sweetness from the grilled pineapple provides all the deliciousness you crave while dieting.

Cooking Instructions

Ingredients:

• Bacon
• 6 ounces of chicken breast
• BBQ sauce
• Pineapple
• Tortillas
• Jalapenos
• 1 ounce cheddar cheese
• Red cabbage

Directions:

1. Marinate the chicken in the BBQ sauce for 30-60 minutes (or for the most flavor, overnight).
   
   
2. Chop and then dice the red cabbage.
   
   
3. Dice the jalapenos and shred the cheese. Leave the veggies and cheese to the side until you’re done. (If you don’t like super spicy things, discard the jalapeno seeds. But since you’re not a wuss, leave the seeds for some fire.)
   
   
4. After the chicken has marinated for 30-60 minutes, cook it on your grill (3-4 minutes per side). At the same time, add the pineapple to the grill and let it cook for 10 minutes, rotating as needed. Once the pineapple is soft, it’s done.
   
   
5. While the chicken and pineapple grill, cook the bacon on your stove on a low-medium heat – this will provide you time to run out and flip the chicken and pineapple a few more times.
   
   
6. Once the bacon is done, chop it up.
   
   
7. Once the chicken and pineapple are finished, bring them inside and chop them up into bite-sized pieces.
   
   
8. Add the chicken, bacon, pineapple, and diced jalapeno and red cabbage to the tortilla.
   
   
9. Top with the cheese. And then prepare your taste buds for awesomeness!
   
   
10. Enjoy!

3. Peach Prosciutto Burrito

Let's keep it on both the light and fresh side (and the sweet and salty). This burrito is perfect those hot summer days when you want something delicious that doesn’t weigh your stomach down, and makes you feel sluggish while you spend a day on the beach.

This burrito has one of the most well balanced macro profiles of any burrito you can make. The only downside may be that because they are so dang tasty, you actually will be sluggish at the beach because you had to eat three of these!

With longer days and warmer nights, winding down after a day of fun in the sun usually involves a few drinks. And I’m not telling you something you don’t already know: hangovers suck.
