These colorful tacos contain a number of nutrients that can help to maintain good health including heart healthy lean protein, omega fatty acids and vitamin A.

Reduce the fat content of this recipe by lightening the avocado topping with low fat or fat free ranch dressing.

Use the pre-roasted whole chickens, and shred the meat for ease of preparation.

Use your favorite microwaveable chicken nuggets and toss these in hot sauce for ease of preparation.

For another time saving idea; buy pre-cut celery sticks.
