Tacos a new way

Pin It Since my husband is trying to eat healthier, I have been trying different approaches to our traditional meals and last night, tacos were on the menu. Instead of the typical taco in a kit, we started out with a spinach and herb tortilla. I purchased some lean stir-fry beef and sauted it up with some peppers and onions in a little seasoning. I made a creamy sauce and topped them with fresh cilantro, lime juice, tomatoes, and avocados. What a yummy and healthy alternative! (my hubby was VERY complimentary).

Creamy Taco Sauce

Ingredients:

8 oz. sour cream (lowfat)

1 T. lime juice

1 tsp. cumin

1/8 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. red pepper

Directions:

mix all ingredients together and chill

Filling

Ingredients:

1 small onion, sliced

1 small green pepper sliced

1 lb. stir fry beef or shrimp

1/2 tsp. cumin

1/4 tsp. red pepper

1/8 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. chili powder

1/8 tsp. salt

Directions:

1. mix dry ingredients together

2. brown beef then add peppers and onions

3. sprinkle dry ingredients over filling ingredients and saute until onions begin to caramelize

(if using shrimp, add to peppers and onions after they first begin to soften)

Heat tortillas then fill and top with desired toppings.

Let me know if you give this a try and what you think!
