These Low Calorie Taco Shells are just 42 calories each and so easy to make! I like to get creative with the seasoning. Sometimes I just add salt and lime juice, and other times I make "Cool Ranch" taco shells, or taco seasoning flavored tacos. I have included links to the seasonings so you can get creative too. Special Tip: I couldn't share a healthy taco shell recipe without sharing some taco recipes to fill them with. So see below for 8 low calorie taco recipes.
