Spooky 'Monster' Tacos

Cooler weather is coming… Halloween is coming! And being as it is my most favorite holiday, I’ve got to have some fun with it. I’ll be honest in saying that these are my standard, average, run-of-the-mill tacos that I make using extra lean ground beef and just a few other notable swaps along the way.

This time of year though? I like to make them a little spooky! With a few dollops of Greek yogurt, plain Jane tacos turn into MONSTER tacos! Mauahahaha. I’m so in love with Halloween that I made these tacos whilst in the middle of a horrible back spasm. Tacos are awesome as they are. But, cute tacos always win.

I took these tacos a step further and went with a mixture of ‘nacho’ taco shells and blue corn taco shells. So, the way that I like to ‘healthify’ my tacos is to use an extra lean ground beef and my own homemade taco seasoning. A salt-free taco seasoning from a packet will also work if you’re in a pinch for time though!

Other than that it’s the usual add-ons, like lettuce, cheese, and tomato. But, instead of sour cream, I tend to go with a plain fat-free Greek yogurt instead. It tastes the same and gives you a little more protein and a lot less guilt.

Life is better with tacos, and Halloween is better with Spooky MONSTER tacos. Those are just the facts. You will love these, the kids will love these, everyone will love these tacos.
