Taco Tuesday!

I'm in the mood for Taco's tonight and need me some healthy taco recipes.

I dislike ground turkey and I use 93/7 or 96/4 ground beef so there is no benefit for using the ground turkey. Post up your healthy taco/mexican recipes or what you do to make the awesome and wonderful taco food group healthier!

Things I'm thinking about.
A. Lean ground beef
B. Oven baking the hard taco shells instead of frying them.
C. Just a nice natural pico out of cilantro, tomatoes, onions, and peppers instead of the heavier and calorie laden store bought salsa.
D. I'm not a big fish fan so I don't see myself making fish taco's tonight.

I also found these recipes.

Flat Iron Tacos




You can marinate the steak in the Worcestershire mixture for up to 24 hours before cooking (keep refrigerated).

Serves 4

Cooking spray
1 pound flat iron steak (or skirt steak or flank steak)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Coat a stove-top grill pan or griddle with cooking spray and preheat to medium-high. Season both sides of steak with salt and pepper. In a bowl, combine Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, mustard, liquid smoke and cumin. Brush mixture all over both sides of steak.

Place steak on hot grill and cook 4-5 minutes per side for medium meat. Remove steak from pan and let stand 5-10 minutes before slicing crosswise (against the grain) into 1/4-inch thick strips. Serve steak in tacos with desired fillings.



Chicken Tacos With Andouille Sausage



Serves 4

2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced white onion
1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
1 teaspoon chipotle powder (sold in the spice aisle)
1/2 pound fully cooked andouille sausage, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook 3 minutes, until soft. Add chicken and cook 3-5 minutes, until golden brown on all sides, stirring frequently. Add chipotle powder and stir to coat chicken and onion. Add andouille and cook 2-3 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve chicken mixture in tacos with desired fillings.
