Meatless Monday - Green Tacos

Tacos seem like a perfect spring and summer food. Granted, I eat tacos all year long, but they seem especially good when the veggies and herbs are nice and fresh and the beer is cold.  These tacos are a little different and very green for spring. You can fill them with tofu or beans if you want but the recipe here is how I made them.

  2. I love poblano peppers; I am still trying to find tortilla wraps that are gluten free locally they have them at our local airport cafe but not at the grocery.

    1. Hi Linda, I wonder if you could eat corn taco shells.

    2. Linda, I totally understand. I'm GF and have yet to find a decent tortilla that doesn't taste like cardboard. I usually just eat my tacos on a double corn tortilla. If you brown them in a dry pan for a minute or two, they hold up better. Also, GARY has a great GF tortilla recipe on his blog if you want to make your own. They're super easy!
