SUMMARY: Tacos are a universal favorite, beloved by both children and adults. They are a staple on Taco Tuesday in many households and serve as a customizable meal option for gatherings. Planning a nutritious meal involves considering the necessary dietary fibers, often lacking in average American diets. Women typically need about 25 grams of fiber per day, while men need 35-38 grams; yet, most fall short, only consuming 10-15 grams. Fiber is crucial for gut health, lowering cholesterol, and reducing colon cancer risk, found only in plant foods. To boost fiber in tacos, consider using plant-based proteins like lentils instead of or alongside meat and incorporating fiber-rich vegetable toppings. Lentils are economical and offer a similar texture to ground meat, making them a healthy, budget-friendly addition to tacos. Customizing the seasoning and adding homemade pico de gallo or guacamole can further enhance the nutritional value of your taco night.
