This is a meal that requires very little time to prepare. It is very healthy, and can be eaten a
few times a week especially for those looking for low calorie food recipes, and trying to
lose weight. The beauty of this recipe is the flexibility to substitute the tofu for chicken,
fish, beef, scrambled eggs and much more.
The taco wraps in this recipe are made from the jicama plant. Jicama contains important
vitamins and nutrients like vitamin C, folate, iron, calcium, magnesium among others.
Jicama is an excellent source of fiber which has great health benefits including weight
loss. Depending on your preference, lettuce, cauliflower or egg whites wraps can be used
instead.
