Looking for an easy way to make amazing tacos with a Tex-Mex flair? Break out your slow cooker or Instant Pot, prep in the morning, and come home to tender braised taco meat when you walk through the door in the evening. Flank steak is a leaner cut of red meat, which makes it very heart healthy and great for a diabetes meal plan. That also means that the low-and-slow style of the slow cooker is perfect. When it comes to toppings, get creative. Avocados, pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, hot sauce, and a sprinkle of cheese are all great additions to these tasty tacos.

This recipe is healthy, quick and budget-friendly. It makes a tasty meal, complete with nonstarchy vegetables, starchy potatoes, and lean pork tenderloin.

This delicious spinach pesto could also be used for a spread on turkey or chicken sandwiches or wraps. If you don’t like halibut you can substitute cod or tilapia.

Apple juice, mustard, and shallot create a flavorful and slightly sweet marinade for these pork chops. Great on the grill, or you could cook the chops on the stovetop or in the oven. Pair with a simple side salad, or a seasonal vegetable side, like this Braised Cabbage and Apples.
