Notes
Opt for Leaner Meat: If you're aiming for a healthier taco soup, switch out the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken.
Incorporate More Veggies: Enhance the nutritional value and texture of your taco soup by adding vegetables like zucchini, squash, or spinach.
Rinse Those Beans: Always remember to rinse and drain your canned beans. Doing so significantly reduces the sodium content, making your dish not only tasty but healthier too.
