Notes

Feel free to customize your taco bowl with other low-calorie vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini. For a vegetarian option, substitute the meat with extra-firm tofu or lentils. This recipe is also great for meal prepping; simply store the components separately and combine when ready to eat for a quick and healthy lunch or dinner.
