Individuals who want to revamp their diets may be on the lookout for healthy recipes. “Health food” may evoke images of lots of leafy greens and bland grains, but diners can rest assured there are plenty of tasty options… even beef.

This recipe for “Tender Salsa Beef” can replace Taco Tuesday on your weekly menu. For a kid-friendly option, be sure to use mild salsa.
