What’s so wonderful about Tacos?, They can be customized to what you have on hand.
If you are looking to have a Meatless Taco Tuesday there are a wide variety of main ingredients you can use as your filling to create amazing flavor and texture. Ingredients like lentils, tofu, beans, nuts, fruits, veggies and any grain. These tacos feature two of my favorites, farro and sweet potatoes. Multi-tasking in the kitchen can put this meal on the table in under 30 minutes. While roasting the sweet potatoes in the oven, prepare the farro on the stovetop.
Now let’s talk sauce and toppings, for me tacos aren’t complete without a sauce and great toppings. Sky’s the limit when it co taco toppings. Use your favorites or be adventurous and try something new. In these Roasted Sweet Potato and Farro Tacos, I used sliced jalapeños, avocados, some amazing Spicy Cilantro Sauce and Fire-Roasted Corn Pico Style Salsa. Both super easy to make.
Throw a Taco Tuesday or any other day if the week Taco Party and have your friends bring their favorite fillings and topping. Be creative and have some fun.
