I love when healthy eating is so darn delicious and so darn easy. In this part of the year where sticking to resolutions begins to get a little tricky, this recipe was exactly what I needed. I knew the dish would come together in no time flat, so I couldn't really use time as an excuse. Plus, pretty much anything with avocado is a winner, especially if it combines with bright pink grapefruit. (I love the pink and green color combination. Anyone else with me?)
If you're feeling yourself starting to give in to those cravings, try these tacos instead. I won't tell you they'll take the place of that hot fudge sundae you're wanting, but at least you'll have a light, filling, and nutritious dinner in your belly to curb the craving.
