Tips for Making the Best-Ever Healthy Tacos
- Keep corn tortillas, lettuce, avocado, and shredded cheese on hand.
- Buy high-quality, organic protein or have it delivered with Butcher Box!
- Think outside of the box – try flavorful vegan protein ideas, like chickpeas or jackfruit.
- If you meal prep these, prep the filler ingredients and store them separately, then add the tortillas and avocado when you’re ready to eat.
