HEALTH & BENEFITS

The lean ground beef used in this recipe is a good source of protein and several essential nutrients such as iron and vitamin B12. Adding vegetables like lettuce and tomato to tacos increases their fiber and nutrient content. However, toppings like cheese and taco sauce should be used in moderation due to their high sodium content.
