Is there anything better than taco night? At our house, it's a weekly request. And just so we are clear , the more loaded with toppings, the better!
These tacos will blow your mind, and I promise you won't miss the meat! Packed with protein from legumes, fiber from vegetables and brown rice, healthy fats from the queso and guacamole, your tastebuds will be set.
Even better? You can make this your OWN-- keep It all homemade or semi-homemade! If you don't feel like making your cashew queso or guacamole, you can always opt for store-bought! Siete Foods makes a fabulous queso option. Do what you can, when you can. Cant wait to hear what you think!
