• 1 pound of 90% Lean Ground Beef
• 1 packet of Taco Seasoning
• 1 packet of Whole Grain Hard Taco Shells
• 1 packet of Light Mexican Shredded Cheese
• 1 bottle of Taco sauce (mild, medium, or hot)

Directions

• Brown beef in frying pan until no pink. Drain the beef so that all excess fat is gone.
• Put beef back in frying pan, adding 1 cup of water, and 1 packet of Taco Seasoning. Stir until completely dissolved, and let simmer for 10-15 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally.
• Once beef is done, make your tacos, and add the fixings that you like. You can always add shredded lettuce, tomatoes, or low fat sour cream.

Granted, this is not the lowest calorie meal you could eat. But, you can’t eat grilled chicken and vegetables every night. This is a nice “break” from the routine. Still a healthy, low fat, hi-fiber meal that makes you feel like you cheated without the negative side effects of ingesting tons of calories – a nice alternative to Fast Food.
So there you have it, another healthy, and nutritious meal that takes next to no time to make… and it is DELICIOUS!
