Amazing Meatless Tacos

You won’t even miss the meat with this protein packed recipe! It has some of my favorite mexican food ingredients: avocados, beans, cilantro, lime….. Is your mouth watering yet?

My meat loving father who comes from a long line of butchers is probably thinking, “Where did I go wrong?”  Well, dad if you are reading this don’t worry I am not going Vegetarian on you.  This recipe is so good that you will want to find other ways to eat it.  You can snack on it with chips, have it as a salad or eat it straight out of the bowl…. I think even my Latino meat loving father would approve of my Amazing Meatless Mexican Tacos.
