Nutritional values

Parsley not only makes a visual impact in dishes but also shines with carotenoids that can inhibit inflammation and have been linked to a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.

For a vegetarian version of the taco bowl, you can replace the ground beef with either soy mince or a mixture of cooked lentils and finely chopped mushrooms. If you like cilantro, you can also use it instead of flat-leaf parsley. Mix this bowl up by using ground turkey or chicken in place of the beef.
