Tacos! Filling for Phases 1 and 3 & Metabolism Revolution

Tacos are our absolute favorite thing to eat! So versatile, quick to make and they can be changed up easily. We eat them all phases. Turkey, chicken, ground beef, carnitas... so many choices. Spicy and fresh, loaded with veggies. This recipe uses ground turkey or -lean ground beef. Make it spicy or mild. This is a good recipe to sneak veggies into your kid's meals. Top them with salsa or fresh pico- SO good!
