Tips

• Little chefs will love assembling their tacos. Ask them to help you brainstorm topping ideas.

• If you don’t have white fish, try using tuna.

• For extra toppings, sprinkle 15 mL (1 tbsp) of grated low fat mozzarella on top of your tacos.

• No tortillas? No problem. Try using lettuce or cabbage wraps or making a bowl by adding the mixture on top of brown rice or quinoa.

• Remember, a little salt goes a long way. Taste the food before adding any salt.
