Roasted Vegetable Tacos

PUBLISHED 9/17/2019

I originally titled this “Vegetable Fajitas” but was informed that once food is placed into a tortilla it can only be called a “TACO”. It is Vegetarian and can be made Vegan as well. This Perfectly Imperfect recipe includes Refried Beans and a Creamy Jalapeno Lime Sauce that will please any crowd!

  • 1/2-1 8oz package Mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1/4 lb Asparagus (cut into 1 in. pieces)
  • 1 Onion (chopped)

REFRIED BEANS

  • 1 TBSP Avocado Oil**

  • 1 TBSP Taco Seasoning
  • 1 cup Stock (Vegetable or Chicken)
  • Salt and Pepper

  • Chopped Green Onions
  • Your favorite Salsa
 

*You can use whatever vegetables you like for this. Sqush, Zucchini, and Eggplant would also be delicious. Be creative!

**I use Avocado Oil anytime I’m cooking with high heat. Vegetable or Canola Oil can be used as well.

instructions

  1. Preheat broiler to highest setting
  2. Toss Vegetables in large bowl with Oil, Taco Seasoning, and Salt and Pepper to taste.
  3. Place aluminum for over baking sheet or broiler pan and arrange Vegetables on top.
  4. Place under broiler making sure the top shelf it close enough to the heat source that the Vegetables are only about 5 in. away.
  5. Broil 15-20 minutes (turning about halfway though).
  6. While Vegetables are cooking, add Oil to heating large saute pan. Add Beans and saute for 3 minutes over medium heat.
  7. Pour in Stock and increase heat to high. Bring to boil.
  8. Reduce heat to low, season with Salt and Pepper and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  9. Using a potato masher, mash the Beans until creamy (about 3-4 minutes). The liquid will continue to evaporate so turn the heat off before it thickens as much as you want so it doesn’t get too dry.
  10. Top Beans with shredded Cheddar or your favorite Mexican Cheese if you life.
  11. Serve Beans and Vegetables with Tortillas, Jalapeno Lime Sauce, and toppings of your choice. ENJOY!!
