TACOS!!!

Mexican food is so yummy and can be made so healthy!
-Skip the sour cream and have avocado instead.
-Use whole wheat or corn tortillas rather than white flour tortillas.
-When it comes to chips, choose whole grain and low sodium or make your own by cutting up tortillas, than drizzle olive oil, sprinkle a little salt, and bake them till they get a golden color (5-10 min).
-Add a little spice to your taco for an extra metabolism boost.
-Skip the refined beans and add black beans.
-Add more veggies and less cheese.
-Instead of eating 3 tacos, eat two tacos and a mexican salad with salsa as the dressing!
-Buy low sodium taco seasoning or make your own:
