chicken veggie tacos
These guilt-free chicken veggie tacos are so easy and quick to make and packed with flavor!
Somehow my eight year old figured out that Tuesday is Taco Night (I'm blaming the Lego Movie for that) and has been insistent that we eat tacos every Tuesday for ages. Since Geoff and I both love tacos, it hasn't been a problem, except that I'm getting a little bored with my go-to taco recipe. These chicken and veggie tacos were a fun and healthy change, and everyone in the family loved them! I don't know that I have ever seen my four year old willingly eat zucchini before, so that was pretty amazing to me. I like the added crunch and texture from the vegetables, and love that my girls are eating some green veggies along with their beloved tacos. Feel free to add whatever toppings you like... salsa, sour cream, cheese, jalapeños, etc. would all be delicious!
