7 Taco Recipes Under 310 Calories by Team Beachbody

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.
