Craft the perfect taco

Soft Tortilla

  1. Place about two ounces of protein in the center of the shell, followed by vegetable toppings, and then guacamole or cheese toppings. Finish with lettuce.
  2. Roll the tortilla over until the toppings in the center are covered with one half of the shell. Fold the two outer ends over one another, and enjoy!

Hard Tortilla

  1. Spread a thin layer of your protein of choice along the bottom of the shell, followed by a thin layer of guacamole. Add on any veggie toppings, followed by a thin layer of sour cream and cheese.
  2. Garnish with lettuce.
