Spicy Chicken Taco with Avocado and Yoghurt

I love assembling homemade tacos as they are tasty, healthy and quick to make. Frankly, my recipe for today came out of necessity. I simply pulled out the last ingredients I had in the fridge and turned them into a delicious lunch.

Et Voilà, warm corn tortillas filled with chicken breast cooked in a savory and spicy way, corn, avocado, and yoghurt – what a divine flavor!

Have you ever tried tacos with corn tortillas? Tortillas are a staple food in many homes (mine is one of them). Tortillas, especially corn tortillas, are healthy and versatile, great for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, and go with almost any leftovers.

For the ones who are not familiar with tortillas, but still curious enough to give them a shot, I will briefly explain the difference between corn and flour tortillas.

First of all, corn tortillas have 1 gram of fat while the flour ones may have more than 3 grams in saturated fat, commonly knows as the “bad fat”.

Secondly, corn tortillas usually have a short and simple ingredient list while flour tortillas have a longer list of additives for flavor, which makes them a bad choice for people with allergies.

Thirdly, the corn tortillas have an earthy, natural taste while flour tortillas are a bit sweeter and more filling.
So based on calories, fat content and the ingredients list, corn tortillas win as the healthier option. They also provide fiber, calcium, potassium, iron and B vitamins. Next time when you go to the grocery store, make the healthy decision and choose corn tortillas.

I used to believe that preparing a regular taco might be a little daunting, but guess what?! I was so wrong, they are actually so easy and keep you only a few minutes in the kitchen.
