Tuesday is upon us and it has become a tradition at many eating establishments to have a "Taco Tuesday". Taco's are a favorite of many kids and parents. They are easy to prepare, allow for individuality of ingredient choice, and they taste so good.
The problem with tacos is that they can be unhealthy. It all depends on what you put into them. With a couple substitutions you can make Taco Tuesday in your home a family event that everyone can chip in to make and enjoy.
Use your kitchen counter, prep station, or kitchen table as a taco bar and enjoy. Below is my favorite recipe for tacos.
1 pound ground turkey or chicken (instead of beef, much lower in fat)
1 packet dry taco seasoning
1 head iceberg lettuce
1 medium onion
1 orange bell pepper
2 tomatoes
1 package Go Veggi cheese (Go Veggi is a brand of lactose and or dairy free cheese products that come in many different flavors)
1) dice the onions and bell peppers and grill to soften them (set aside)
2) dice tomatoes (set aside)
3) grate cheese set aside
4) wash lettuce and pull apart leaves to make lettuce cups
5) brown ground turkey with two table spoons olive oil
6) follow directions on taco seasoning packet to finish cooking taco meat
7) take a lettuce cup and fill it with your favorite toppings and enjoy.
