Rainbow Tacos


Mexican food is one of my FAVORITES! Although i'm pretty sure Mexican vegetarians are extremely rare, there are still ways to make delicious Mexican meals without the meat! I call these "rainbow" tacos because they are filled with lots of anti-oxident rich ingrediets of all colors!

Ingredients:
Corn tortillas
Sweet potato puree
Canned black beans (drained)
Diced tomatoes (I use half red and half yellow)
Diced yellow onion
Diced avocado
Queso Fresco (Mexican cheese)
Jalapeno or serrano peppers (optional)
Cilantro (optional)

Get your comal (or large pan if you don't have a comal) nice a hot. Cook the tortillas on each side until bubbles start to form on the top. After removing the tortillas from the heat, put them inside a towel or in a tortilla warmer until ready to use. To make the filling for the tacos, just dice up the desired amount of tomatoes, onion, peppers, and avocado and mix with beans. Toss together well. Put some of the sweet potato puree on the tortilla first. Then scoop some of the filling on top of that. Lastly, add desired amount of cheese and cilantro. Enjoy!
