{Clean} Eating Tacos!

This has been a huge hit in our house! My hubby absolutely loves these.  In fact, he's been bugging me for awhile to get this recipe up on the blog so he can brag about it, haha!



Here goes:

1 lb ground chicken {or turkey/beef - whatever floats your boat!}
1 can 15 oz tomato sauce {no salt added - Hunts makes a yummy one}
1/2 tbs taco seasoning
1 tbs garlic powder
1 tbs onion powder
1 tbs paprika
1/2 tbs chile powder
1 can whole kernel corn {Libby's makes an all natural version w/no added salt}
1 can low sodium black beans

Brown meat in EVOO, sprinkle of taco seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder.  Using the spices is optional, but we like the extra flavor it adds and it doesn't hurt anything! Drain after cooking.

Mix browned meat, tomato sauce, spices, drained corn and black beans into your pan and let simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Serve with guacamole, salsa, cheese if desired.  Trader Joes has some excellent clean corn tortillas to eat these in! By clean I mean - corn, lime juice, and water.  Literally, those are the only ingredients.  :)

We like to double the recipe and save some for later in the week!

Enjoy y'all!
