It's Tuesday... do you know what that means? It's time to make some tacos! Check out this SIMPLE taco recipe from the Bariatric Foodie's blog. Her recipe calls for green leaf lettuce in place of taco shells for a lower carb, lighter meal. Don't eat pork? No sweat, substitute for chicken, turkey or even fish.... Let us know or post a picture if you give this meal a try! Cheers! Tori Brown, RD, LDN Bariatric Dietitian
