Healthy and Tasty Taco Recipes
Happy Taco Tuesday everyone! We’re super excited to share this dietitian-approved roundup of healthy and tasty taco recipes here at Amee’s Savory Dish.
Since we’re all about gathering families ‘round the dinner table for simple, satisfying meals that are also brimming with great nutrition, we thought this sampling of 30-plus tacos would hit the spot.
Tacos come in many shapes and sizes. They’re also really versatile. This is always a plus, especially for families whose members may have different flavor, texture, and ingredient preferences. Looking for something gluten-free? Go for corn tortillas versus wheat.
Eating more meatless meals lately? Fillings like beans, lentils, and tofu should have you covered. Or maybe your kids are like ours, and traditional ground beef tacos are still a favorite.
No matter how you slice ‘em, there’s usually something for everyone when Tacos are served. Oh, and let’s not forget about the toppings! Avocado, tomato, cheese, lettuce, plain Greek yogurt, and cilantro all boost the fun and nutritional GPA of tacos even more.
