We love meals like this – especially in summer when the “living is easy”. Tacos are always a favorite for family and friends, and these are even more delicious that their fried counterparts!
We use Cilantro in both the tacos and the sauce for this yummy recipe. Cilantro provides a herby, grassy flavor pop to the dish! Cilantro has virtually no calories so it is a great way to ramp up the flavor of your food but not add any more calories. It does have, however, a ton of antioxidants and a natural ability to cleanse your body. It can detox from heavy metals that could potentially build up in the body so it is a great addition to a clean food plan.
