Happy Lenten season! I know, I can't believe Easter is so close! It feels like it gets earlier every year. Did you give up anything for lent? I'll be honest and say that I did not. Besides my phone I'm not really addicted to anything. Instead of giving up something I usually try and do better with something that I think I need to work on. This year it is my patience. I hate waiting and my patience is truly going to be put to the test this year as I am searching for a new job, wanting to purchase a house and will be getting married in less than 6 months. As a Catholic my family and I follow the no meat on Friday's rule. This is really hard for me as I am a true carnivore! However, Lent is a time for sacrifice and one day a week shouldn't be that hard of after 23 years of this, it has proven to be a true challenge since I do not eat seafood. I can hear the " WHAT!!!"'s and "your crazy" through the computer. So, after years of grilled cheeses and bowls of mac and cheese (note that all of my past meals were cheese based), I have decide to make my Friday's of Lent healthy and yummy! The first go at this was so incredibly yummy that i think my no meat Friday's are going easy breezy!
Avocado Tacos
What you'll need:
Red and Green Bell Pepper, Sliced Thinly
Onion, Sliced Thinly
Mushrooms, Sliced
Vegetable Oil
Fajita Seasoning
Dash of Salt & Pepper
Avocado, Sliced
Corn Tortillas
Heat a skillet with oil on medium. Saute vegetable and season with desired amount of seasoning just to taste.
Cook till onions are caramelized and mushrooms and peppers are tender.
On a tortilla, lay avocado down first ( it will play the role as meat), then vegetables and whatever else you would usually top your tacos with!
Yes, it is really that easy!
Add a side of whole or black beans.
Strangely, the mushrooms masked the fact that there wasn't any meat in the taco. I'm usually not a huge mushroom fan but these were SO good! I topped my taco with a bit of shredded cheddar cheese and some diced tomatoes.
Hope your meatless Friday will be as enjoyable as mine!
Happy Friday!
