Can Tacos Be Healthy?
Of course, tacos can be healthy and tasty at the same time. The secret is to make them at home and control the calories, fat and fresh ingredients you add to your tacos.
Tips to make healthy tacos
- Choose soft whole wheat, corn or low-carb tortilla instead of the fried hard taco shell. You will save a lot of fat and calories.
- Add as many raw or cooked vegetables as you can. You can add lettuce, tomato, pickled onions or radishes, shredded carrots, avocados, cabbage, peppers, roasted vegetables, and even salsa etc. The veggies will provide a ton of nutrients and fiber to your tacos.
- Select a healthy lean protein, extra point is they are plant-based ( tofu, edamame, beans)
- Skip the sour cream and replace it with creamy greek yogurt, hummus or guacamole.
- Spiced it up! When you add extra flavor with spices and heat you will not miss other unhealthy ingredients.
