Summer Veggie Tacos

July 16, 2019 by Elizabeth Leave a Comment

Remember being a kid when taco night meant ground beef with taco seasoning and cheese? That was one of the first meals my mom let me make solo. It’s one of those nostalgic foods that I will always love. These aren’t those tacos, but as I get older, I totally get why my mom made tacos. They’re so easy! We used to joke that if we had to eat any kind of food forever it would probably be Mexican food, and not much has changed! Tacos are one of my favorite easy weeknight dinners, especially in summer. So I made these super easy Summer Veggie Tacos.

I made my own version that’s suitable for Vegans, Vegetarians and all around Potato-lovers alike. I am all about potatoes as a taco filling. Bring it on. Plus to top it all off, I made a creamy avocado sauce (basically a pureed version of guacamole) to compliment these delicious tacos.

“Positive and Present” is something Sam and I say to one another a lot. We strive to be present when we’re together and to unplug. I wish it was easy for me to just stop looking at my phone, but it takes real willpower. So in 2018, I’m trying to be present as much as possible. To foster real relationships and spend more time with family and less time on my phone. So when I got an Instant Pot, I realized that this was an easy way to spend less time in the kitchen and more time doing more important things. People, if you only knew just how much time I spent in the kitchen, you’d die. It is unbelievable. Cooking Thanksgiving dinner was nothing to me.
