Healthy Taco Recipe

Tacos are usually a fixture in the repertoire of a busy moms dinner schedule, and making them healthy for the family is an added bonus. Read below to take your homemade taco recipe from greasy and salty to Yummy and healthy.

3 Tips for Making Healthy Tacos:

• We “oven fry” the taco shells instead of deep frying or using store-bought. To do this we spray them with cooking spray then bake them until they’re crisp. This reduces fat and saturated fat and we avoid the trans fats found in most store-bought brands of taco shells.
• We combine lean ground beef and turkey to cut out much of the fat and saturated fat.
• We add vegetables and jazzed-up refried beans in place of extra meat and cheese to keep calories and saturated fat down.

These tips may not seem like they made a big difference in your taco recipe but ask any doctor and they are sure to tell you you’re taking steps in the right direction for sure!
