Taco Tuesday!

Crunchy or soft, who doesn’t love a taco? 

Not to mention a quick way to get dinner on the table. A taco bar is a fun way for kids to explore with different vegetables, beans, and cheese and build their own taco.

My secret ingredient is to use roasted mushrooms and add them to the meat. I love the flavor and its a great way to eat more plants! Use at least 16 ounces of baby Bella mushrooms cut uniformly, tossed in olive oil, salt and pepper and roast at 400 degrees. Turn every 5 minutes for 20 minutes. When cooled, put in a mini chop and pulse until the mushrooms look like the ground meat.

Cut 16 ounces or more of Baby Bella mushrooms into uniform pieces. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes.
