Low Carb
Use a low-carb Tortilla wrap to make this dish low-carb. There are only 8g of net carbs per serving. Most grocery stores will have them. I have also used the low-carb burrito wraps when I can’t find the others.

Greek Yogurt
Using Greek yogurt in place of sour cream makes this recipe a healthy one. My kids can’t even tell the difference. I don’t even buy sour cream anymore. Give it a try.

Homemade Taco Seasoning
Homemade Taco seasoning is very easy to make and healthier than the store-bought kind. I like to make it and store it in glass containers.
- 2 Tablespoon Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 onion powder
- 1/4 crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
In a small bowl, mix chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Store in a glass seasoning jar.
