20 Healthy Taco Recipes for Taco Tuesday (2024)

Growing up, one of my favorite nights in our house was Taco Night! I like to think it was always on a Tuesday but who knows?

More often than not, my mom would make us classic ground beef Tacos with crispy shells and a variety of toppings. It was always so much fun to pile everything on and wage the war on how long you could eat the taco shell without it completely falling apart.

Nowadays, when I eat tacos, they are usually of the soft-shell variety, filled with a variety of perfectly-spiced ingredients and accompanied by guacamole, pico, herbs,and some type of green salad.

Some of my Taco standby’s are…

Beef + Bean Taco Lettuce Wraps and Weeknight Black Bean Tacos

I also like to make thisGrilled Shrimp + Corn Fiesta Saladand if you don’t already have a good recipe forHomemade Taco Seasoning, now is the time to make your own and save some money!

These are not Mexican influenced but remind me of Tacos so I rotate through these a lot as well.

Buffalo Shrimp Lettuce Wraps / Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps
