Lean and Spicy Tacos
A classic taco with a healthy twist.
Ingredients
- 1 cup tomatoes, diced
- 1 medium avocado, chopped
- 1 tablespoon cilantro flakes
- 1 pound extra-lean ground beef
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium taco seasoning mix
- 3 tablespoons onion, minced
- 10 whole-wheat tortillas
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- ½ cup fat-free shredded cheese
Optional: favorite preferred taco sauce, refried beans or black beans
Directions
Mix tomatoes, avocado and cilantro flakes in small to medium-sized bowl. Spray frying pan with nonstick cooking spray and turn to medium heat. Add ground beef and taco seasoning. Use a spoon or spatula to break up ground beef. Cover pan and let cook for a few minutes, then add minced onions. Continue cooking and stirring occasionally until beef is browned and fully cooked (about 10 minutes). Warm tortillas in microwave about 15 seconds. Prepare each taco by placing beef in taco shell, then lettuce and tomato mixture. Sprinkle cheese on top and serve.
