Zucchini Soft Taco
Zucchini Soft Taco
Cold Ingredients:
Whole wheat tortillas
Spring mix
Baby Spinach
Tomatoes, sliced
Avocado, sliced
(Use any variation of vegetables that you want!)
Cooked Ingredients:
1/2 Onion
2 Cloves Minced Garlic
2 Medium Zucchini
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon oregano (or Italian Seasoning)
1/8 teaspoon Chili Powder or Chipotle Powder (optional)
Saute onions and garlic in olive oil over medium heat until softened. Add zucchini, paprika, oregano and chili powder/chipotle powder. Saute for 5 minutes, flipping zucchini until both sides are evenly browned.
Distribute zucchini mix over a tortilla, and top with cold ingredients. Wrap up and enjoy!
This is a FAST, EASY recipe and makes approximately 6 wraps. Judd likes to take one or two to work the following day by wrapping them individually in aluminum foil. Then, he puts them on his dashboard to warm up! See picture below:
New blog section!
Hi all! We hope you've had a great weekend. Judd just prepared a quick new meal, Zucchini Soft Taco's, so I'm making this a short post (I will post a picture and the recipe later. They're delish!).
We just wanted to bring to your attention that we've added a new section to our Blog, titled "Vegan Pantry Essentials". Again, these items are not just for Vegans! We have found that the reason most people grab the fast food and junk food is because "traditional diet foods" lack flavor and are BOR-ING!!! Not true with our meals...we love what we eat because it tastes delicious AND it is good for you. Having a pantry stocked with essential healthy, flavorful ingredients is the easiest way to stay on track and by-pass the junk food.
We've started the section with one of our favorites, Nutritional Yeast Flakes, and will be adding new things daily. We hope this helps you out the next time you're at the grocery store.

Nutritional Yeast Flakes
For the Vegan Pantry:
Not to be confused with brewer's yeast, nutritional yeast has a roasted, nutty, cheese-like flavor. It is a good source of amino acids and B vitamins*, and most brands are naturally gluten-free. You can find nutritional yeast flakes in the bulk aisle in most natural food markets. Some brands such as Bob's Red Mill, KAL, and Bragg can also be purchased online. (See the link below to purchase Bob's on Amazon.com.)
We like to sprinkle it on pasta dishes in place of Parmesan cheese. Another favorite use is to add a few tablespoons to melted margerine and a sprinkle of garlic salt, and drizzle over steamed broccoli.
*The recommended daily intake of Vitamin B12 for healthy adult men and women is 2.4 mcg.

In natural foods, vitamin B12 is primarily found in animal products, including fish, meat, poultry, eggs, milk, and other dairy products. But that doesn’t mean animal products are necessarily the best source of this essential vitamin.
Although it is not found naturally in most plant foods, some brands of nutritional yeast contain vitamin B12, and it is widely added to many breakfast cereals and fortified nut milk.
