Vegetarian Tacos

Hey Everybody! Long time no post, but that means that lots of goodies are stored and ready to be shared.

Today we're going to take a trip around the world, with a recipe from Mexico : tacos, of course! This is really easy and simple to make, because you can put virtually anything into your taco and still call it a taco. I'm going to list some ideas for ingredients (the star next to it means that I used it in the photos below)

Ingredients :

Tacos or tortillas
*Chopped zucchini
*Chopped carrots
*Chopped celery
*Chopped bellpeppers
*Chopped onions
Eggplant
*Diced tomatoes
*Lettuce
*Chili pepper seasoning
*Guacamole
Cheese for non-vegans, tofu for vegans


1. First grill all your vegetables, except for the lettuce and the tomatoes if you don't want to (I like mine fresh!) To grill them, toss them into a platter with olive oil and salt, and place in the oven at max temperature.

Another option is to cook/stir fry the vegetables.


2. Second, make your taco by stuffing it with the grilled and fresh veggies! I like eating tacos with lots of pepper and guacamole, but it's all up to you. That's one of the beauty of serving tacos for a meal, people get to choose what they put in.


If you're using a tortilla, here's a tip for closing it. Don't over stuff the tortilla and gently fold one of the tips into the taco, so that when you close it, one of the ends is closed. That way it won't leak as much. But yes, eating tacos is still pretty messy :)

Next tour around the world will take us to the Middle East! Don't miss it!
