Introduction

Fresh-made salsa tastes more vibrant than bottled, and you control the added sodium. The cheese and sour cream add salty notes to these tacos. Corn tortillas have a fraction of the sodium in flour ones, and they also contribute a pleasingly chewy texture. Round out breakfast with fresh mango slices.

1 serving = 2 tacos

    Very Good
    This was a tasty and quick breakfast to make. My husband enjoyed it, but thought maybe having flour tortillas would taste good too. - 10/21/08
