Taco Tuesdays

Tacos are a fun and easy way to fit more vegetables into your dinner. The great thing about tacos is that you can essentially put whatever you want in them. Just sauté or bake any vegetable (or fruit!) that is in season in a little olive oil, wrap it in a corn tortilla, drizzle some salsa and guacamole and you've got yourself a delicious and healthy meal! Veggie tacos take about twenty minutes total to prepare and are friendly on your wallet. This is a perfect, light and satisfying meal for any season.

Veggie Tacos

1/2 diced red onion

1/2 avocado

A handful of chopped cilantro

A good salsa

6 mini corn tortillas

Turn the oven to 200 degrees. Wrap the tortillas in tin foil and place them inside the oven.

Add the olive oil to a pan set to medium heat. And the onions and sauté for 7 minutes or until tender. Add the garlic and chili flakes and cook for 1 minute. Add the zucchini, peas, corn and bell pepper sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Sauté for another 3-5 minutes, coating all the vegetables with the olive oil.
