INGREDIENT NOTES:

LEAN GROUND BEEF:

  • This beef will not make your recipe too heavy. You will get protein by adding it to your dish. Also, the taste of your taco filling will be boosted from using this meat. Ground chicken is another idea for substitution.

ROTEL TOMATOES:

  • These Rotel tomatoes are another basic ingredient for your taco recipe. There are chilis mixed with diced tomatoes, and you will add them to your taco filling. You will feel a tangy flavor if you use them in your recipe. Also, this ingredient will make some sauce, so your meal remains moist. If you need another idea, use some chopped green chilis with canned diced tomatoes.

REDUCED-FAT CHEDDAR CHEESE:

  • This ingredient will make your tacos cheesy. This will also give a good cheesy taste to your meal. Cheese also makes your taco filling rich. You can add reduced-fat Mexican blend cheese for substitution.

TACO SEASONING:

  • Taco seasoning is an easy alternative to gathering separate seasonings. It is convenient and gives you a traditional taco taste. You can mix the seasonings individually for another idea as well.

LIGHT CREAM CHEESE:

  • Your beef mixture will get creamy if you use this ingredient in it. Also, it is a lighter version of the heavy cream cheese, so it’s not going to make your tacos heavy. Light cream cheese will also mix with other things for your filling. Use light sour cream for an alternative choice.

CORN TORTILLAS:

  • Using small corn tortillas is a light choice for your recipe. These are the base of your tortilla meal as well. Another lighter idea for this can be using lettuce wraps.

PLAIN NONFAT GREEK YOGURT:

  • You will use this to add over your tacos for a creamy feeling. It can easily maintain any extra spiciness in your taco filling. Add light sour cream for another choice.
