Mexican cuisine, tacos consisting of a small hand-sized corn- or wheat-based tortilla which contain filling of beef, chicken, pork, fish, and shellfish as well as vegetables such as lettuce, cabbage, radishes, chiles, and tomatoes. Tacos can also be vegetarian, filled with refried beans, avocado, potatoes, and cheese.

When crafted using healthy ingredients, such as fresh veggies and grilled meats, tacos are considered a balanced meal. That’s because they offer a good balance of protein, fats, and carbohydrates. Also, they can be a good source of fiber, calcium, and iron. 

Toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, and onions are a staple on tacos. They add flavor, texture, and color. Nutrient-dense veggies like these are also one of the main reasons why tacos can be nutritious and part of a healthy diet.
