Take on Taco Tuesdays!
Who says Taco Tuesdays have to be traditional? They may be a simple go-to meal that you can customize to anyone’s preference, but do they have to be for lunch or dinner only? Why not start the day with a taco instead? This recipe offers a boost of good nutrition to start the day. It has a fusion of ethnic flavors of Mexican (with traditional flour tortillas, queso cheese, and avocados) and Irish ( the corned beef hash).

The ingredients bringing the nutritional boost are eggs and avocado. Eggs have choline, which is essential for brain and spine development in unborn babies, as well as protecting cognition and memory as we age. Plus, they’re now considered to be heart healthy within a balanced diet. The unsaturated fats in avocado, along with the fiber and folate make this another heart-healthy addition to a balanced diet. Instead of solely relying on a pre-packaged puree for babies who are starting with solid foods, try mashing other soft foods that you’re serving the rest of the family. Making scrambled eggs and mashed avocados as first foods for babies is a great option for brain development and growth.
