"Easy and light tasting chicken tacos. Super tasty with lots of room for creativity. Add corn, substitute shrimp, or throw in some diced red bell peppers. I make these with healthy ingredients. If you want to use full fat or more traditional ingredients, go ahead. But if you stick to the recipe you won't miss the added calories."
