Taco Tuesday? More like tacos every day in my household! As a dietitian, I’m looking for as much balance as possible in my meals. This means a source of protein, fat, carbs, fiber & greens/veggies at almost all my meals. If you know me, you know I preach tacos as the perfect fit for the above formula. It’s no surprise you can catch me eating tacos for both breakfast and dinner and on any given day.
Since I follow a gluten-free lifestyle, I’m on the lookout for healthier alternatives and products that can sub the place of traditional wheat containing items. I came across Tia Lupita’s on IG and a couple of days later at Whole Foods, I took this as a sign to get their classic tortillas. LET ME TELL YOU THEY ARE GOOD. I’m really big on consistency when it comes to gluten-free alternatives. I don’t want a tortilla I can’t fold up or will break apart. Tia Lupita’s cactus & corn tortilla are perfectly soft and can hold all the ingredients for a loaded and balanced taco.
I’ve turned the tortillas into chips using my air fryer. The company has a whole line of chips and hot sauce that I can’t wait to try! Come back next week for a review of their other items. BUT as always if you want to be the first to know updates sign up for my newsletter and follow me on Instagram @LifeEditNutrition.
