Quinoa Taco Meat

I was (kind of). When it came to fruit I remember only liking canned pears (yeah, weird, I know). Lunch was almost always a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and dinner was often cheese and shells. If my parents put creamed corn on the table, it was a guaranteed meltdown (hated the stuff). Desserts on the other hand? Another menu item I could always get behind? These days, ground beef isn’t my go-to filling for tacos. I think you see where this is going. This recipe is simple, requiring just 9 ingredients and simple methods.

It’s been too long. Well, not really. Roasted Butternut Squash Tacos. Green Goddess Enchiladas. We may live in a democracy with equal rights and all, but I just think you should know that no matter what Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence, all green goddess dressings are not created equal.

Sure, they’re all green, but so is pistachio ice cream. Which, though amazingly delicious, is certainly not health food. (Moral of the story. You should never judge a condiment by its verdant hue.) And I suppose they’ll all turn you into some sort of divine entity… …but while some versions of this herbalicious dressing will turn you into a legit goddess, hourglass figure and all. Others will inevitably push you more towards the Buddha side of the celestial being spectrum. To clear up all this confusion (or to just add an oxymoron to the mix), I present you with green goddess enchiladas.

You better believe it. Peachy corn succotash tacos with lentils + basil slaw. Smoked Gouda Mushroom Quesadillas. Beer-Marinated Grilled Mushroom Tacos with Pepita Relish & Chipotle Crema. Whenever I see a recipe that involves steak, my first thought is, “Aha!

Without the constraints of chicken, beef, pork or fish, the possibilities are endless. You can go the traditional black bean route (always delicious!) The Bojon Gourmet: Kale and Cauliflower Enchiladas with Potatoes, Shiitakes, and Goat Cheese. I was quite flattered when I showed up to my cousin's daughter's first birthday party last month to find that the parents had made three pans of my black bean, chard, and sweet potato enchiladas for the occasion.

They wisely layered the tortillas with the sauce and filling, which is quicker and easier than rolling, and accompanied them with massive bowls of sour cream and guacamole. I helped myself to a big plate as guests kept complimenting me. And I didn't even have to do anything. Best party ever. The only disappointment came when I optimistically thought I was pouring myself a glass of horchata, but it turned out to be plain milk for the kiddos. 5 recipes that are gluten-free—and delicious.

Pin it! I used to be one of those naive people that couldn’t wrap their head around stress-eating. What could possess someone to eat 6 cookies in a row out of external pressure? ROASTED ZUCCHINI, BLACK BEAN + GOAT CHEESE ENCHILADAS. Between an oven that heats the entire upstairs to 350' or a charcoal BBQ that requires a bit of forethought to get going, turning on either for summer cooking is a bit of a commitment.

I have been deterred from making enchiladas for the site because they are difficult to photograph, so not only did this recipe come with an obligation to a sweaty mid-July photo session with the oven on, but also the challenge of making them look as good as they tasted. We make enchiladas pretty often. I appreciate having them for dinner and then warming them back up with scrambled eggs for a slightly different meal the next day. I've experimented with a butternut squash, greens and white cheddar version in the fall and then stuffing them with a bounty of zucchini in the summer with a slight tang of soft goat cheese. Roasted Corn and Ricotta Enchiladas with Chipotle Tomato Sauce. We’ve hit that point in the year when corn is a topic of family conversation.

Roasted Corn and Ricotta Enchiladas with Chipotle Tomato Sauce

While we happily graze on corn, we figure out whether the guy in the old wal-mart parking lot has better corn than the guy in the church parking lot (church parking lot for the win). We talk about the flavor,size, and color (Peaches and Cream all the way). We talk about the best way to eat it (just a little butter, salt, and pepper). I’m actually the oddball in the family. I’ll eat corn straight off the cob but I would much rather create meals around it.
