Let’s be real: Taco Tuesday should really be Taco Monday, Taco Wednesday, Taco Thursday, etc. In other words, there’s no wrong day of the week to eat tacos.
We’ve got a slew of taco recipes here on the Beachbody Blog — fish tacos, shrimp tacos, steak tacos, chicken tacos, and more.
We even have an easy, all-natural taco seasoning recipe so you can skip the store-bought packets that may contain artificial flavors.
To honor the pure deliciousness of the taco, we checked the stats and came up with a list of our most popular taco recipes.
Taco Recipes – The Top Ten Countdown
10. Chipotle Vegan Taco Recipe
If you’re looking a healthier taco recipe, this vegan taco recipe is the answer to your prayers.
Instead of meat, extra-firm tofu marinates in lime juice, garlic, chipotle powder so it can soak in all those mouthwatering flavors.
After that, all you have to do is brown the tofu, then pile it onto a hearty green leaf with salsa and avocado. This recipe uses cabbage leaves, but you can use any type of lettuce that you prefer.

9. Mexi-Cal Taco Recipe
Tofu has another starring role in our 9th most popular taco recipe — with good reason.
Tofu is a versatile and clever substitute for meat in any dish, but especially in a taco recipe — the tofu absorbs all the rich spice flavors that it’s cooked in so you can’t even tell it’s not meat.
Add in some of your favorite vegetables, whole-wheat tortillas, and yogurt instead of sour cream and you’ll be crushing Taco Tuesday and sticking to your healthy eating plan!

7. Fish Tacos With Fresh Mango-Avocado Salsa

Cod is lightly seasoned with salt and grilled (or broiled) until moist and flaky.
