Taco Bake - A Clean Eating Recipe

I made this for dinner tonight. It was easy and tasty. Even my picky-eater husband liked it!

Except for the taco seasoning packet
and the fat free sour cream that looks pretty good.

As has been mentioned MANY brands of powdered taco seasoning have MSG and partially hydrogenated oils among their many ingredients.

Here's "Old El Paso"

INGREDIENTS:
Maltodextrin, salt, chili pepper, onion powder, spice, monosodium glutamate, corn starch, yellow corn flour, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, silicon dioxide (anticaking agent), natural flavor, ethoxyquin (preservative).

Gonna have to try this for sure! Maybe with some black olives and green onions tossed in... mmmmm hehe

I don't know how this is a clean recipe at all but it sounds tasty regardless

Awesome, thanks!!

BUMP!!!

Not a bad recipe, but I don't know how 'clean' it is.

- Unless you're making your own pasta, there's going to be some things in there that nature didn't intend you to digest.

- Ground turkey isn't really all that much better than 85/15 ground beef unless you're getting ground turkey 'breast'. As long as the beef is grass fed, you're golden either way.

- The taco seasoning packet will have addatives and extra salt and other preservatives thrown in. A simple Google search will help you find a custom taco seasoning without the fillers. I always make a bunch at once so I can use it when I need it.

- The fat free sour cream is also going to move away from clean. They have to process the cream to remove the fat, therefore deteriorating it. Then they have to add a bunch of junk to have what's left to look and taste like sour cream should. Fat is not the enemy and is actually essential in the digestive process it. You'd be far better off as a clean eater using natural sour cream than fat free. Remember, look for the fewest ingredients possible when choosing your food.

-Cheese is marginal - not really clean, but not really terrible either.

- I also hope you're making your own salsa. A simple pico de gallo will have tomato, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and a bit of garlic powder. If you're using anything branded, chances are there's lots of preservatives and other junk in there.

Otherwise, a good looking recipe!

looks great

Yum!
