Taco Thursday!

We like tacos here in Texas! If I do say so myself we have some of the best too. A local favorite is Yucatan Taco Stand. Not only are the tacos fantastic but, you can get a mountain of nachos for next to nothing that will feed an army of people! Fuzzy's Tacos is also fantastic, can't go wrong! Now, when I am in Austin Torchy's is an absolute must. I will eat Torchy's for breakfast lunch and dinner! But, if I ate tacos as often as I would like to, I would end up being the size of Texas. So, when I am in need of a more healthier taco, I revert to the next best thing... courtesy of Cooking Light Magazine!
