13 Fast and Healthy Taco Night Recipes Worthy of a Fiesta

Spicy Seafood Tacos

Dreaming of a trip to the Baja coast? These crabmeat and red snapper tacos will take you there. Two different kinds of seafood add protein to these healthy tacos, and the trio of cabbage, mango, and avocado keep them fresh, flavorful, and a little fruity.

Korean Chicken Tacos

Add Korean-inspired flair to your healthy taco night by cooking chicken with soy sauce, ginger, and chili-garlic sauce. A scoop of kimchi (and maybe a few sprigs of cilantro, if you're a fan) completes your healthy taco.

Mushroom, Kale, and Egg Tacos

Meatless Monday, meet healthy taco night. Scrambled eggs, fresh kale, and "meaty" mushrooms make up the filling for these healthy tacos, which are great on your breakfast or dinner table. If you want, you can turn up the heat with a few extra toppings, too—a dab of hot salsa or a few slices of fresh jalapeño pepper will bring the fire for any spice-lovers at your table.

Chopped Salad Taco

A surefire way to get the whole family excited about eating a salad? Serve it in a tortilla for healthy taco night! These veggie-filled tacos are loaded with fresh sweet corn, zucchini, and dollops of guacamole and salsa for flavor. Pinto beans make these vegetarian tacos hearty enough for a satisfying dinner.

Cilantro Shrimp Tacos

Shrimp tacos are one of our first choices whenever we dine out, but it's super easy to make these healthy tacos at home, too. Load up on the healthy taco toppings to keep your dinner light on the calories. For this recipe, we used plenty of shredded cabbage combined with a smear of guacamole to complement the cilantro-marinated shrimp that cooks in just 6 minutes under the broiler.

Jackfruit and Spinach Tacos

Filling your tacos with fruit instead of meat might sound a little unusual, but when you cook jackfruit, it takes on a meat-like texture similar to pulled pork. In this case, it makes a tasty and easy filling for vegetarian tacos. Pair spinach and pico de gallo with the jackfruit for healthy tacos that even meat lovers will devour.

Vegan Tempeh-Walnut Tacos

Tempeh (made with soy) and walnuts replace traditional ground beef in this vegan taco recipe. You probably won't find this healthy taco combo on a menu anywhere. Still, this healthy taco recipe tastes restaurant-worthy when you dress it up with toppings such as fresh lettuce, guacamole, and salsa. The healthy taco filling might inspire you to experiment with other meatless recipes!

Garlic Shrimp and Crab Tacos

A mixture of shrimp and crabmeat sounds like a decadent filling, but we added enough fresh ingredients to keep these tacos from becoming overly indulgent. Mango, avocado, and red cabbage make a fruity and tangy slaw for topping these healthy tacos.

Spice-Rubbed Chicken and Poblano Tacos

With more than a pound of fresh poblanos, these tacos are for serious pepper lovers only. Even if you're used to piling your taco with toppings, spice-rubbed chicken and broiled poblanos are all you need for this recipe. The simplicity is part of what makes them so delicious.

Grilled Fish Tacos with Chipotle Cream

We made fish tacos a little healthier by grilling the fish instead of frying it, so you can turn to this healthy taco recipe when you need a seafood fix. Avocado slices and romaine lettuce make healthy and tasty toppers.

Chicken-Lentil Tacos

Boneless chicken breast and lentils make a protein- and fiber-rich filling for this healthy taco recipe. Chipotle chiles in adobo sauce add a nice smoky flavor, while quick-pickled red onions add freshness to every bite.

Chicken and Bean Tacos

We didn't think 25-minute chicken tacos were possible, but this recipe proved us wrong (use leftover chicken to speed the process along). We use lettuce as a healthy taco topping, but if you want a little more garden freshness, try adding juicy tomato. You can't go wrong with these fast and healthy tacos.

Lentil and Black Bean Tacos

These healthy tacos might be vegetarian, but they've got plenty of meaty flavor and texture thanks to mushrooms, beans, and lentils. In addition to the plant-based protein, you'll get a healthy dose of extra nutrients, including fiber, vitamin A, potassium, and calcium.
