Week 2- go to meal

My go to meal is scrambled eggs, onions, peppers, and salsa in a tortilla. I am going to be referencing the Harvard healthy eating plate to reference what I did not do and how I can change my eating habits to better reflect the plate.

This is the recipe I used:

First I heat a small pan with vegetable oil and cook the frozen onions and peppers. After a few minutes of cooking or once they are steaming I add the two beaten eggs that have been seasoned with garlic salt and pepper. I proceed to scramble the eggs and vegetables. When the eggs are fully cooked I take the pan off heat, wait for it to cool and then empty its contuse onto a flour tortilla. Once the eggs and vegetables are on the tortilla I put about a table spoon of salsa on top to finish the dish.

Reflection:

I'm comparing my dish to the Harvard recommendation for a healthy plate. While my dish does include vegetables, protein, and healthy oils, it doesn't include any fruits or whole grains. I could modify my dish to include some healthier options like whole grain tortillas fresh salsa more vegetables and beans for a healthy protein. I could also eat some fruit in the side so that I'm not excluding an entire food group anymore. I chose the Harvard healthy eating plate because it was the most specific and helpful of all of the options given. It gives examples of portions and foods to eat.
