Recipe highlights
Tips
- Little chefs will love assembling their tacos. Ask them to help you brainstorm topping ideas.
- For extra toppings, sprinkle 15 mL (1 tbsp) of grated lower fat mozzarella on top of your tacos.
- No tortillas? No problem. Use lettuce or cabbage wraps or make a bowl by adding the mixture on top of brown rice or quinoa.
- If you don’t have white fish, try using tuna.
- Remember, a little salt goes a long way. Taste the food before adding any salt.
