Tacos are a family favorite… Veggies sometimes yes… And sometimes no. Creativity definitely helps and presentation never hurts! Tonight I’m making quinoa based veggie tacos with a broccoli slaw and cilantro mayo salsa. Guacamole and homemade corn tortillas finish the meal (see prior blogs for the recipe). I haven’t made this before, so in total, it took me a little over an hour (but I did the laundry, too and was listening to music and goofing off, in general) I think it could be faster with a recipe and plan in place! 

Slaw

3 cups Broccoli slaw – I bought organic premix, but just matchsticks of Broccoli, cabbage & carrot

Process the following:

1 cup cilantro

1 cup mayo

Juice of 2 limes

Dash salt

1 t mustard (any)

3 cloves garlic

Once smooth, mix about half (other half see below) into the broccoli slaw.  Done! 

Get ready to NINJA!

 Cilantro Mayo Salsa

Take the other half of the above 

Add 2 T mayo

Dash salt

Tabasco to taste

Mix well and serve!

Quinoa Veggie Tacos

Corn tortillas (homemade or Mission)

In skillet, brown 2 cups of chopped sweet potatoes

sweet potatoes… their last moments…

 2 T olive oil

Dash salt

Pepper

2 t red pepper flakes

1/4 cup red onion

Add to medium pot over medium high heat:

2 cups water

1 cup rinsed organic quinoa

Veggie bullion cube

1/2 cup sliced sweet peppers

Add in potato mix and bring to boil and then simmer until all water absorbed (15-20 mins). Then add in handful of chopped cilantro and toss. 

look at that! and it smells awesome!

 

Assemble! Tortilla, quinoa mix, slaw, salsa, eat, repeat! That is a healthy, delicious, nutritious, Taco Tuesday!
