Spicy Beef Tacos

spicy beef tacos

Well it’s a new year and the holidays are over :(   It’s officially time to put away the sweets and treats and get back to better eating.  I was scouring the internet for some fresh new healthy recipes last week and came across several that I will be testing out.

Most of these new recipes came from the Weight Watchers website so I was a little leery that they may not have much taste to them.  But that is not the case with these spicy beef tacos.

I love this recipe!  It is so quick and easy to make and only requires a handful of ingredients.  The flavors are amazing with a bit of heat.  I was worried that hubby would fuss over the diced tomatoes in the meat but he ate them with no complaining!  I know the recipe is a keeper when he’s able to overlook things he hates because it tastes so good!
