Easy Delicious Tacos


     Tonight, Malissa and I are feasting upon one of the simplest of our meals.  If you are like me, occasionally you will be caught blankly staring at the refrigerator, wondering when food will end up in your mouth!  Tacos are great for making a quick meal without prior planning.


Tacos
  • Refried beans (If you use store-bought, make sure they are vegetarian or you are eating lard!)
  • Chopped Lettuce
  • Cilantro
  • Diced Tomato
  • Diced Onion
  • Avocado or Guacamole 
  • Sliced Olives
  • Salsa (there are many that are made with all natural ingredients. We prefer pace)
  • Vegan sour cream (available in most grocery stores)
  • lime wedges
  • Hot Sauce (If you are a hot sauce junkie like me!)
  • Whole Wheat Torillas (We have been struggling to find a truly healthy brand, if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!) 

Line up all the ingredients in individual bowls and place items on tortilla.

Heating your Tortillas
     Heating the Tortillas is a must in our house! To do it in a way where the tortillas don't become dry and stale, simply wrap the tortillas in a slightly dampened hand towel, then cover in aluminum foil and place in the oven on the warm setting.  After just a couple minutes they will be moist and warm!

  • What unique things do you like to put in your tacos? I would love to hear your feedback!

  1. These sound great! Jacob and Malissa, you said you eat a whole-foods plant based diet. For you, does that include dairy? Serious props on the whole deal. Sounds like you are eating delicious, healthy food.

  2. Thank you for your comment! We don't usually eat dairy, but we aren't Nazis about it either, we just avoid it as much as possible.
