Chicken tacos
Hi guys! Happy new year! Starting the year off with a bang with this chicken taco recipe. This recipe is tasty,nutritious, and perfect for the whole family. The chicken can be replaced with prawns, salmon, or tofu! Small but helpful changes can be made with the cut of chicken you eat; the chicken breast has a lower iron content compared to chicken thighs for example.The sour cream and cheese to garnish the tacos with are high in calcium which is beneficial for your bonehealth and it strengthens your bones and in turn reduces the risk ofosteoporosis. As always, I hope you enjoy this recipe, and any feedback or suggestions are welcomed.
