600 Calories Or Less
All of these delicious recipes come in at 600 calories or less per serving, ideal for those who choose to monitor their caloric intake, without sacrificing flavor. The US Food & Drug Administration recommends a 2000 calorie daily intake for the general population. The 600 calorie cap equates to 30% of total 2000 calories per day based on 3 meals per day with 200 calories remaining for snack or beverage.
Carb Conscious
Our Carb Conscious recipes provide a balanced approach to carbohydrate consumption by replacing refined carbohydrates from sources like white flour, rice, and cane sugar with high-fiber foods like fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Our Carb Conscious recipes have 42g or less of net carbohydrates (total carbohydrates minus dietary fiber) per serving, a 25% reduction in net carbs compared to the average Blue Apron recipe served in 2019. Due to the natural variation in size of and contribution of produce in our recipes, some recipes can be badged as Carb Conscious at 45g or less net carbs per serving.
Mediterranean Diet
Our Mediterranean recipes are inspired by the Mediterranean Diet, a healthy eating plan recommended in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans published jointly every five years by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS). This eating plan highlights the flavors and cooking styles from countries along the Mediterranean Sea, including those in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. These recipes showcase a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, as well as lean proteins and moderate portions of dairy.
Plant-Forward
Our Plant-Forward recipes are designed by our chefs to help support a flexible diet that emphasizes plant-based foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans and other legumes like lentils and soy foods, and includes occasional, moderate portions of meat, poultry, fish, and seafood.
Diabetes Friendly
Our diabetes friendly offering allows you to enjoy wholesome options while adhering to the guidelines set forth by the nutrition experts at our partner at the American Diabetes Association. A recipe with this badge features non-starchy, fibrous vegetables with a limit on calories, total carbohydrates, saturated fat, added sugar and sodium. For those chefs following ADA guidelines, it is recommended that no additional salt be added to this recipe when prepared and for chefs to skip all salting steps of a recipe.

We’re using sharp cave-aged cheddar to create a melty layer on top of warm flour tortillas—the perfect base for our smoky, spicy, and rich filling. To accompany our tacos, we’re serving a side of roasted zucchini topped with fresh lime juice for a bright, tangy lift.

ingredients
Title
-
1 15.5-Oz Can Black Beans
-
4 Flour Tortillas
-
1 Lime
-
1 Tbsp Light Brown Sugar
-
1 Zucchini
-
3 oz Radishes
-
2 tsps Chipotle Chile Paste
-
2 Tbsps Grated Cotija Cheese
-
¼ cup Sour Cream
-
2 oz Monterey Jack Cheese
-
1 Yellow Onion
1
Prepare the ingredients
Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the zucchini into 1/2-inch rounds. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Drain and rinse the beans. Grate the monterey jack on the large side of a box grater. Halve the lime crosswise. Halve the radishes lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Place in a bowl; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream and the juice of 1 lime half. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
2
Roast the zucchini
Line a sheet pan with foil. Place the zucchini rounds on the foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; turn to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven. Carefully transfer to a bowl; evenly top with the juice of the remaining lime half. Stir to coat. Cover with foil to keep warm. Reserving the sheet pan, discard the foil.
3
Make the filling
Meanwhile, in a medium pot, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chorizo, sliced onion, and sugar; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 6 to 8 minutes, or until the chorizo is browned and the onion is softened. Add the drained beans, 3/4 cup of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), and as much of the chile paste as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally and mashing the beans with the back of a spoon, 7 to 9 minutes, or until the beans have slightly broken down and the chorizo is cooked through. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
4
Make the cheesy tortillas
Meanwhile, place the tortillas on the reserved sheet pan. Evenly top with the grated monterey jack; season with salt and pepper. Bake 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Transfer to a work surface.
5
Finish & serve your dish
Assemble the tacos using the cheesy tortillas, filling (you may have extra filling), seasoned radishes (discarding any liquid), and lime sour cream. Serve the tacos with the roasted zucchini on the side. Garnish with the cotija. Enjoy!
