Make-Your-Own-Taco night is a fun dinner plan that lots of families enjoy. It’s amazing how the kids will eat loads of protein and veggies when they are the ones that put the taco together! And while tacos are fun and get the kids to eat, the traditional taco ingredients that most families buy are not so healthy.
Tacos made with crispy taco shells, shredded cheese, sour cream and grain fed ground beef add up to more than 20 grams of carbs and less than 10 grams of protein. RHR tacos have only 3 grams of carbs and 21 grams of protein.
The recipe below for Real Healthy Tacos uses Real Healthy Tortillas, made with eggs, coconut flour and flax meal, which cuts down on the carbs and eliminates gluten from the meal. I’ve left the dairy products out, and instead suggest using a tablespoon of guacamole or chopped avocado for the creamy factor.
