Healthy Easy Tacos
My favorite easy healthy go to meal is tacos. Everyday is a great day for tacos and they are non existent where I live in Italy. We have a taqueria that just opened up in our piazza so I’m going to do a drive by and check them out I made some yummy tacos this week with some small adjustments so I wanted to make a post about them . We are overdue for an LA trip and you’ll find me at Trejo’s http://trejostacos.com Get creative and use any kind of protein. I’ve used Tempeh and Tofu when making vegetarian tacos but my favorite tacos are fish and shrimp .I don’t have a market that sells corn tortillas so I’ve had to tweek my tacos a bit. My sister Debra buys masa and hand makes tortillas and tamales. She’s amazing like that but me no. I don’t have the patience or skill to handle masa lol Christmas is when I gorge myself on her amazing cooking and let’s be real , It’s so much better when someone else cooks for you . I use a lettuce leaf and it’s like a hand taco salad. I don’t make fancy guacamole. I think avocados only need salt and Lime like Tequila. For salsa I just chop tomatoes, garlic, lime, salt, pepper and I roast one bell pepper red or yellow. I drizzle the yellow pepper with olive oil and cumin, salt, and red pepper flakes. Roast it in your oven for 15 minutes at 200c /400F . When it cools you can chop it up and add it to the tomatoes. It’s a nice smokey slightly sweet, salty, salsa. I don’t use onion in my salsa’s or garlic. If it’s added in at a restaurant it’s ok.I love garlic but onions not so much . Just scoop your protein on top of your lettuce leaf, top it with salsa and then avocado . Enjoy XO Tera
