Happy Taco Tuesday! 🌮🌮

Can't wait to try my little 'street taco' size corn tortillas later today...I usually use low carb flour or spinach tortillas, but these were so dang cute!! I've got avocados that need using, so they will definitely be a part of the recipe🥑

I thought the graphics were interesting for illustrating how just a few 'swaps' of ingredients can make SUCH a difference in the macros & sodium 🧂 I will be making some of those swaps today👍

If you're not able to make them at home, or for whatever reason...the lower calorie choices at Taco Bell might be helpful.

In any case, Hurray for Taco Tuesdays!! Here's to making our taco choices as nutritious & tasty as possible! ENJOY!🙋‍♀️

Thank you CrystalJo. 👍 I just might try some of these. I am so used to eating tacos the traditional way, but like you said, small changes make a difference when added up. 😊

The second "at home" taco actually looks better to me - fresh tomatoes and greens and tasty ingredients.

Many times, the healthier options with just a few changes or compromises (maybe just having cheese or guacamole instead of loading on cheese AND sour cream and guac) taste just as good, we're just used to doing things a certain way and think we have to have everything to be satisfied.

Hello Crystaljo!!! thanks for sharing I love tacos

@Oats_the_whey...I like the look of Taco#2 better too😋 I also agree that making compromises can make a big difference when ordering out...I don't HAVE to have ALL the toppings in order for it to still be satisfying. Thanks for commenting!😊

Hi @buenitabishop👋 I actually ended up making a 'taco salad' instead of my little street tacos...they just didn't hold enough stuffing for me!!😁

What a great meal change! I think I will make some tacos at home this week. Lots of salad fillings- natch😁

My husband and I wanted taco salad recently. We have a fluted baking form he wanted to use. So he came home with these huge burrito sized flour tortillas (220 cal, 35g carbs, 500mg sodium) instead of the smaller corn tortillas I had in mind. Your graphic shows the difference!

@RhumbaGirl...ooops! Is he a calorie watcher, like you? My hubby NEVER looks at the nutrition labels!😉

I often make a taco salad too, Crystal. That way you can have all the various fillings in amounts that fit your own preference & calorie allowance. 😁🥗🌮

@RhumbaGirl...I'm curious how to use one of those fluted pans myself. Maybe if I found 1 that could fit in my Air Fryer? Hmmmmm🤔

@SherryeB...plus you don't have to worry about everything falling out of the tortilla! The taco salad is so much 'neater' 😂😉

My husband loves those street tacos. I make carne asada or Al pastor and then put out all the toppings. When I do make them I usually do a taco salad for myself. 💜💜

@Diana...I had to Google what those dishes were...🤣 I used good ol'ground turkey with seasonings. I'm not a very adventurous cook!👩‍🍳
