Tacos are a meal you can have so much fun with, there are all kinds of foods to stuff in a taco shell. Be sure to make the ingredients inside the taco fresh, clean and of course flavorful. Lime, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, lemon for starters are great seasoning to add to your food for flavor and a little kick. Don't be afraid to experiment a little, you can even make your own favorite mexican blend to put in burgers, meat or chicken marinades, tacos salads. Eating clean doesn't mean it has to be bland, have fun with flavor.
Take some time when you are at the grocery next, spend sometime in front of the spice section, read what's there and and buy a few you think might be good. Take it home and start mixing it up a little, some may not be your favorites and others you might love. Some cook book recipes can be intimidating because there are so many ingredients in them, but most of the time you will see that most of the ingredients are spices or items that add flavor to your food. Some recipes for sauces and dressing or even marinades can be doubled or tripled so that you have extra to store and keep for another time or a different dish.
