Roasted sweet potato, fresh mushrooms, green mache salad on top of a warm freshly fried corn tortilla. We got the inspiration from the recipe from the wonderful vegetarian blog Naturally Ella but we excluded the quinoa (to see the original recipe click here: http://naturallyella.com/2013/02/15/crispy-quinoa-and-mole-sweet-potato-tacos/)
How good doesn’t this look?
This is a vegetarian taco with spicy flavours and a fantastic sweetness from the jams. You can buy your tortilla bread but it will definitely be best if you bake your own, it is so simple and take only a few minutes! Vegetarian taco can be be done in thousands of variations and most of them contain beans but I choose mushrooms instead because of the very high protein content. Did you know that mushrooms contains 4% more protein than beans? Well you do now, so give this recipe a try!
