Cilantro-Lime Pork Tacos
This is one of my favorite taco recipes. It's so simple and full of incredible flavor. These can be eaten on any Phase of the Fast Metabolism Diet, just make sure you're paying extra attention to the directions below for substitutions. In Phase 1, skip the oil. In Phase 2, serve this delicious pork over a salad or use lettuce cups for your taco shells.

1 1/2 cups thinly sliced onion
1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
