Easy Street Taco Ingredient Benefits
Tortillas- A great source of carbohydrates, and sometimes protein depending on the brand. It’s important to buy minimally processed tortillas with good ingredients for full health benefits.
Ground Beef- A meat source that is rich in high quality protein, vitamins, and minerals. Beef is also an excellent source of iron.
Bell Peppers- A low calorie vegetable that add a lot of flavor. They provide a good source of Vitamin C and beta carotene. Red peppers are actually green peppers that were left on the vine longer and therefore have a better nutritional profile.
Avocado- They are high in healthy fats, fiber, potassium, magnesium, folate, and vitamins C, K, E and B6. Avocados have been found to have positive links to reducing risk of heart disease and are beneficial for gut health and are high in anti-inflammatory compounds.
Feta- Feta contains vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that provide health benefits such as bone health, boosts immunity, and promotes gut health. It is also a great source of fatty acids.
Pico- A great low calorie topping that is perfect for dip or on top of bowls. It adds a ton of flavor and is also contains a good amount of Vitamin C from lime juice, tomatoes, and onions.
