Notes
For a vegetarian option, use lentils or black beans instead of meat. Plain Greek yogurt can be used in place of sour cream for a healthier alternative. If you're out of taco seasoning, use a blend of chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and salt. Cauliflower rice is a great low-carb option. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
