Tacos

I know.  You're thinking that everyone already knows how to make tacos.  Well, the fact that they're so easy is half the reason they're so great!  These are a lower-cal version of your typical taco - but full of flavor, so don't stop reading just yet.  They're also a little unusual because they are made with elk meat.  Elk meat is a great substitute for beef, and much leaner.  Of course, you can always use a lean (I like less than 10% fat) ground beef if you can't find elk meat.  I was a little disappointed at first that I didn't have cheese or sour cream, but the lime really gave them a fresh, zesty flavor and I didn't miss the cheese or sour cream. They'd be even better if you topped them with fresh avocado.
