Who doesn’t enjoy a hearty taco, especially when its fillings are a healthier version? This recipe uses lean ground beef, but you can opt for ground or chopped chicken breast – the possibilities are just endless!

Yield: 6 portions

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 kg lean ground beef
  • 1 piece red onion, chopped
  • 10 pieces tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 6 piece corn taco shells
  • 3 pieces lettuce leaves, shredded
  • 1/4 cup low-fat cheese, grated

Procedures:

  1. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, then saute beef and onion for about 10 minutes.
  2. Remove meat and drain excess oil.
  3. In a separate pan, combine the cooked meat, chopped tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, and oregano.
