Chef’s Notes Top tacos with any of your favorite veggies, hot sauce, salsa, low-fat sour cream, or low-fat plain yogurt. Use any type of cooked beans you like. Make soft tacos using corn or whole wheat tortillas. Or, serve over brown rice or Confetti Pepper Cornbread. For more heat, add minced hot peppers to sauce in step 6.
