A super easy & delicious way to eat your vegetables. Oven roasted vegetables, creamy refried beans and a spicy avocado sauce inside soft tortillas makes for an addicting taco recipe!
Today lets do tacos friends! A delicious, really simple, no fuss taco recipe for your weeknight meals. Markets are packed with fresh vegetables and I find this to be the best time to rekindle my love for roasted vegetables. Most of the time I am looking for quick and easy recipes that are not just tasty but healthy too! And this recipe is my favorite new way to make dinner fun, healthy and each person can customize these as they want so a double win!
I roasted a bunch of veggies for about 40 minutes and while they were roasting I warmed up beans, tortillas and made a really simple avocado sauce. Everything takes from start to finish less than an hour and in between you get plenty of time to grab a drink, fold laundry and do things that never seem to end! Life I tell you! But one bite of these tacos and you will know what I am talking about!
Once vegetables are roasted, I add a good amount of seasoning because that’s what brings these tacos to life and since they are so good for you too, I make them extra delicious & healthy by adding a big pinch of turmeric. So yummy! The wonders of turmeric are widely known in India but now it’s getting recognition around the world. It’s predicted to be the superfood of the year so why not reap the benefits! In Indian cooking turmeric is a must in almost all savory recipes and even my favorite way to drink warm milk includes adding turmeric!
So go ahead make these delicious tacos for dinner tonight!
