quick, easy, and healthy fish tacos

Like so many others, we’ve made a vow to eat better.  Are you looking for healthy, quick, and easy dinner idea to help you with that same goal?  Look no further!  Fish tacos with chili-lime cream come in at just 278 calories per serving.   The 14 grams of fat per serving may look like a lot, but most of those are “healthy fat” from the avocado. 

Not all fat is bad.  In an avocado, most of the calories come from monounsaturated fat, the “good” kind of fat that lower your LDL cholesterol, which is harmful to your body.

You can lower the total fat content by using low or non-fat sour cream if you desire.
