I eat at least 6 tacos everytime I make them for dinner ( 6 if I do not have enough hamburger, but if I have enough, I usually eat more ) well anyway, I love the taste of hamburger, but I was trying to find a healthier way of making them. I have eaten boca burgers and boca chicken for 6 months now. If you have not heard of boca products they are meatless products. Well they have boca ground burger, so instead of using hamburger I tried that, and my golly G! it tastes BETTER than hamburger ( mixed with the taco mix ) !!! So try it if you want your tacos to be a bit healthier.

If you would like to share any other good substitutions share please

Some people use ground turkey or ground chicken which you can generally find in the supermarket.
I'm a beef person myself, but leftover pork roast would make good tacos.
I have eaten the boca burgers, they are good. Never tried the ground boca burger though.

A healthier way of making the beef tacos would be to wrap the tacos up in lettuce leaves instead of the taco shells. That is Chinese style and great for cutting down on carbs. Buy the big leaf lettuce and wash it well. It's very durable stuff.

Don't feel bad about eating 6 tacos, my husband will devour a good dozen all by himself. I sit in amazement, but he is like you and loves them.

Another way to make them healthier is to have taco salad instead. Just a thought.
