I cannot stop craving Mexican food since being back in the USA!
Between pregnancy and being in California, it really is just the main food
that sounds good to me. I can’t stop! This week I mixed it up a little with some
veggie tacos that my sister-in-law makes all the time. It is originally from this
yummy website who is good friends with my brother and sis-in-law! After having
these roasted cauliflower + chickpea tacos a few times made by Mindy, I had to
make them on my own. I made a few changes just to simplify and increase batch size –
and we loved them! They remind me of our favorite sweet potato black bean burritos :
meatless, filling, and a just little bit different to mix it up! Here they are, thanks
Two Peas & Their Pod for coming up with this! It’s a new favorite for sure.
