Healthy Chicken Tacos
Tacos are a quick and easy southwest style dinner that the whole family will love. We're lightening up these tacos by adding in chicken instead of beef to cut out over 80 of the fat, using reduced sodium taco seasoning and cutting out 25 of the calories in the cheese toppings. This classic dish is getting a makeover but is still packed with all the familiar flavors.
