Taco Tuesday..Grilled Veggie Tacos with Avocado Lime Salsa

TACO TUESDAY
In our house of taco lovers, the taco is a favorite for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Why wait till Taco Tuesday to celebrate delicious tacos? 
Needless to say our diets have digressed to quite an unhealthy level in our house. Too much sugar, too many carbs, too much caffeine... and just plain too much!!   
So like it or not, it's time for a diet makeover for the Carter's. The problem is we like to eat and we are not a salad every meal couple.  Surely we can find some healthy substitutions and still get the delicious flavor we love so much. 
We will be on a journey to remake out favorites and share our results, good and bad with you. 
Today we made a quick lunch of Grilled Veggie Tacos with Avocado Lime Salsa. To make these totally gluten free just use a corn tortilla. They may not include any meat or dairy but I promise you will not miss  it with the delicious spiced veggies and creamy and tangy avocado salsa.  for a little more spice add your favorite red salsa or extra jalapeno!!
Happy Cooking !!

Taco Filling:

Ingredients:

Half an onion thinly sliced

Half a Bell pepper sliced (I prefer Red Bell Pepper)

½ cup corn kernels

¾ cup of black beans

2 minced cloves of garlic

½ cup of Textured Vegetable Protein (found in the frozen food section)

1 tsp. of cumin

1/2 tsp chili powder

¼ tsp. of oregano

A healthy dose of black pepper and  just a small amount of salt to taste

1 TB Olive oil (add a little more if needed)

Heat Skillet and oil and add first four ingredients and lightly saute’ after veggies start to cook a and turning translucent add the remaining ingredients and finish cooking till heated thoroughly. I like vegetables to have a bit of crunch in them.

Avocado Lime Salsa

 In a small bowl mix one Diced avocado and coat immediately with a fresh squeezed lime. One small diced Roma tomato, a quarter of a small red onion and 3 tablespoons of cilantro. Mix all ingredients and add salt and pepper.  For extra spice add a tsp of finely diced jalapeno.

Toast whole wheat tortillas in a nonstick skillet or griddle, no oil needed. Fill with delicious filling and top with salsa.

Enjoy!
