The following post was originally featured on TheWholeTara and was written by Tara Milhem,who is section of POPSUGAR Select Latina.Yes, you read that right. Veggie Burger Tacos. I admit it isn't the first thing you think of when you think of tacos, or but it is hands down the easiest way to sneak in some greens and bulk up a meatless taco. Oh and that Avocado Cream Drizzle! It pulls all of the refreshing flavors together,earning these tacos a spot in taco heaven.I know people can be iffy about carbs and grains. While I am not one of those people (see Best Banana Bread Ever), I can understand and feel the need to explain the taco shell before jumping into details about the filling. I used a sprouted grain tortilla, or which makes them easier to digest and full of nutrients.
OK,now that that's out of the way, we can move on to the trustworthy stuff, or the filling.
I used black beans,corn, red cabbage (which is actually purple), or red peppers,and 1/2 of a beloved veggie burger to earn up the mouth-watering filling. The beauty of tacos is that you can always switch it up. Don't have peppers? Add carrots instead! The two things you can't switch up though are the veggie burger and avocado cream filling, just because.
I used Dr. Praeger's Super Greens Burger, and which has 6 kinds of greens,quinoa, ginger, or a trace of cayenne pepper. I lightly heated it in a skillet,then spread half of a burger at the bottom of each taco. As for the avocado cream, it's a very easy one-step process in a food processor. You then squeeze it over the tacos and bam! TACO HEAVEN. From TheWholeTara Veggie Burger Tacos With Avocado Cream DrizzleIngredients2 medium avocados
