taco night



These are the yummy tacos I made tonight for dinner. I think I could eat these every night!!

Vegetarian Tacos
Beans: 1, 16 oz can of organic pinto beans
2-3 cloves of garlic chopped
1/3 of a small white onion chopped

In a small pot on medium heat, sauté onion and garlic in olive oil. Then after about 2 minutes, add pinto beans. Cook on medium for about 5 more minutes, then lower to simmer.

Veggie filling: 1 small yellow squash
1/2 red onion
1 red pepper
1/2 green pepper
2 cloves of garlic
Chop all veggies into "small chunks". Then sauté veggies in pan on medium heat starting with onion/garlic, then peppers, and finally yellow squash. Season with salt and cayenne pepper to taste.

Pico de Gallo: 2 medium tomatoes
1/2 white onion
handful of cilantro
1 lime
1 ear of corn
Dice tomatoes, onion, and cilantro and mix into a bowl. Cut corn off the cob and mix into tomato mixture. Cut lime in halves and squeeze juice into the mixture.

Fill organic corn tortilla shells with beans, veggies, and pico...LOVE IT!!

**You can use whatever veggie combo you choose. I really like the pepper/squash combo.**
