200 Calorie Tacos

As the festive season begins and parties and outings increase, so does our desire to eat yummy and delicious food at home as well.

I’ve had a soft spot for Mexican food since I moved to the US. We had this really good Mexican place on campus called Tin Lizzys and they served the best margaritas and tacos. Since I moved back to India, I forced my mom to experiment and find a healthy version of this recipe. She finally mastered it so I had to share it with you all.

And ofcourse, I’ve already added these 200 calorie tacos to my weekly dinner menu.
