There is a taco truck that parks on my street corner every night and sends the scent of al pastor and
grilled onions wafting through the neighborhood. It’s hard to resist
the temptation to stumble, zombie-like, down the street for a plate
filled with double corn tortillas stuffed with greasy, spicy pork that
begs to be washed down with beer. And sometimes, I’ll admit, I give in
to that temptation. I usually end up regretting my decision, for a
number of reasons.
Other nights, I walk right past the line of people waiting for their
fattening taco fix, and make my own healthy tacos at home. And, you know
what? Those homemade tacos with fresh ingredients are always more
satisfying. I like to top mine with shredded cabbage, thinly sliced
radishes, and pickled jalapeños. Make any night taco night with these
delicious recipes that are loaded with bold flavors, and low in fat and
calories.
