We’re not just crazy over here- we’re also crazy for tacos! LOL Tacos are SO easy to make, fun to eat, and can be healthy too!
So here’s my take on tacos…
Take whatever ground meat you like (I use ground turkey because I don’t eat beef) or if your a veggie you could use the soy crumbles or even beans. And here’s what I do that make mine a little different- I add a frozen veggie mix into the meat while I’m browning it up in the pan. This is what I use- it does have some seasonings in it like garlic, cilantro, etc…but you could probably find something like this that is plain too. (sorry for the awful pics, I’m still taking them from my phone. Camera is still broken)
This mix has corn, black beans, onions, and bell pepper in it. It makes tacos tastier, prettier, stretches the amount of ground meat that you have, and it’s also a good way to get in an extra serving of veggies! :) Then you add your taco seasoning. If you like the stuff in the package, go for it. If you want something with a little less sodium, make your own taco seasoning- just add salt, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, and a little cayenne if you like your tacos spicy! So simple!
So it’ll look something like this…
And that’s pretty much it! Just scoop it into your taco shells (we like to use the whole wheat tortillas from Central Market- they make them fresh on site every day. They’re delicious!) and add toppings! Cheese, light sour cream, salsa, tomatoes, shredded lettuce, etc.
This also makes GREAT leftovers! Tonight we’re using the leftovers to make nachos!. mmmm! This is also AWESOME for taco salads.
Have a great day! Adios!
