One question Peter and I get asked all the time about our diet is:

Don’t you miss ____ (cheese, dairy, meat, fast food, soft tacos, diet coke)?

And on and on…

I’m pretty sure when I first went gluten-free I missed bagels and donuts. I worked at an office and they were always in my face… can you blame me:)

But I can honestly say no, I don’t miss any of that stuff.

Because I know what things like Taco Time Soft Tacos contain (antibiotics, 2200 grams of sodium, GMO’s, among other scary things) and how unhealthy they are for my bod!

My body is my temple & my health is my wealth.

If you haven’t caught on by now, in high school and college I was obsessed with soft tacos from Taco Time!

They were soft, salty, sweet and full of flavor…. mmmmm

So today is an extra special day as I have recreated my old guilty pleasure and now you can enjoy it as well! 

Because your health is just as important as mine:)

I hope you give this recipe a try and love it as much as we do!

PS – we used Food For Life brown rice tortillas. If you use these, make sure you heat them on a skillet first or they won’t hold together.
