Lighter Beef Tacos image

These soft tacos use lean ground sirloin and low-fat corn tortillas as sensible substitutions. Skip the sour cream and guacamole -- opt for a fiery salsa instead.

These tacos were a bit bland. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.

The tacos were good, but the cabbage slaw was a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll probably make it with less sugar next time.

These tacos were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I'll probably make them again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.
