Once you go healthy you never go back. Every chance I get (which is always) I add nutrition to "traditional" foods that everyone eats thereby personalizing them and making it that much better for you. As you may have noticed by checking out my other recipes, I virtually add garlic, spinach and carrots to most every dish. And, what's most fascinating is that each one of them tastes scrumptiously distinctively different! Once you try my new twist to 'plain old' tacos, you'll never go back. Enjoy!
