Del Taco Introduces Turkey Tacos

By Erin

Let’s face it. We don’t always have the time to cook and slave away in the kitchen to make a wholesome, healthy meal. Some fast food places are finally catching onto this and are offering up some healthier options to help us out. This is where Del Taco comes in.  It has become one of my go to places for a quick  yet delicious meal.

Del Taco introduced Turkey Tacos earlier this month, making the company the first Mexican fast food chain to offer ground turkey as a protein option. Del Taco’s Turkey Tacos feature lean, seasoned ground turkey that has 33 percent less fat than its seasoned beef option  and offers the same craveable flavor. I personally liked the Turkey Tacos more than I like their beef tacos.  Each Turkey Taco has only 150 calories.  Del Taco is also offering up a Turkey CrunchTada Tostada, an extension of their popular CrunchTada product line.

At the low price of $1.29, the new Turkey Tacos are served in a crunchy corn or warm flour tortilla with freshly grated cheddar cheese, crisp lettuce and pico de gallo, made fresh daily at each Del Taco location.
