Healthy Taco Bowls

Hey y’all!

 I wanted to share a recipe that I just tried for the first time last night—a delicious taco bowl! I love Mexican food and burritos and am also passionate about healthy and tasty eating. So, I tracked down a recipe for spaghetti squash taco bowls that are AMAZING. They are so unique and flavorful. I really recommend this meal for anyone like me who loves Mexican food and is trying to be healthy! 

Also, it was not too difficult to make. The whole recipe took about 45 minutes or so, because the squash needs to bake in the oven for that long. I found the recipe on https://www.wellandgood.com and will definitely be going back to check out more of their dishes!
