Tacos. Why do they have to be so meaty all the time?
Posted by andrea tomkins in: Recipes and Food
Awhile back I had an hamburger-related epiphany. I asked myself, self, do you like hamburgers or not? I decided I liked sharing a great dinner with friends and family. And I liked the act of eating a burger: something hot and delicious that doesn’t need a knife and fork. I liked the toppings too. But when I REALLY thought about it, I realized I didn’t love the beef patty part of this scenario. So if I was just in it for the routine and preferred the taste of a veggie patty, why not just eat that instead?
This epiphany also applies to lasagna, chilli, and now tacos. I tried a fish taco for the first time not too long ago, and was a total convert. Now I’m moving on to vegetarian soft taco options. Here’s one I tried the other day:
These were pretty good, but you know what was missing? CILANTRO. I will not make these again without it. Otherwise I have to say that this combination of sweet potato, black beans, and jalapeños is a real winner. (I riffed on this recipe, in case you’re wondering!)
What about you? What’s your favourite taco?
