Dinner DeeAs recipe: Healthy & Tasty Taco Bowl

Healthy & Tasty Taco Bowl | Dinner DeeAs

We make a doctor-designed dinner that tastes like a "cheat meal", as Tacos get a healthy makeover.

We're making a daring dish to show how 'healthy' can also be 'tasty'. It's a Taco Bowl but with Sweet Potato, Cauliflower and Quinoa.  This recipe comes from Dr. Anya Szigeti, an expert in 'functional medicine' and the author of Amazon bestseller 'You Can't Outrun Your Fork: How to Break the Cycle of Feeling Sick & Tired and Transition to a Healthier Life, Naturally'.
