It has all of the flavors you love in traditional Mexican food, but is much healthier! And I have a giveaway this time for you :)!
A very healthy comfort food to satisfy your craving.This combination makes the dish juicy and crunchy. This dish is very healthy and also palatable. They look beautiful when you plate them. I always love Mexican food. Burritos, tostadas, taco ..enchiladas. You can always do your own taco plate with the veggies/meat you have at home. Just top it with some spices and colourful veggies to make it vibrant. Becaise I love Mexican food, this casserole hits all of the right spot for me. The spice level wzas perfect to me, if you think it is more, just reduce!
This delicious casserole is purely vegetarian and healthy! You can layer this in the pan like the way you want, avoid quinoa or avoid tacos. You can have them without tacos or just place over tacos after its cooked, garnish and enjoy it as for Tuesday tacos.I wanted to make this totally a healthy vegetarian guilt free food! I just mixed everything together and bake it, how simple it is right. You can even avoid the onion sauté and just mix everything in a bowl and bake it straight!
My other favorite mexican recipes : Roasted Cauliflower tacos with cilantro lime creama, Mexican mini mushroom quesadilla.
