There are many ways to make vegan tacosā€¦ But this healthy, superfood based veggie taco recipe uses the best of summer veggies to create a healthy, and delicious veggie taco at home.

  • Olive oil sprayā€¦ Donā€™t add a big drizzle of olive oil when you can use a fine mist! Use olive oil spray and save 100ā€™s of calories and lots of fat!
  • Quinoaā€¦ Quinoa, in tacos? YES!! This healthy superfood fills you up, is a complete protein, and takes on all the flavors of the taco seasoning to create a wonderful, health forward veggie taco recipe!

So get creative, and pick whatā€™s in season (and on sale) just make sure to get some crunch, something soft and something creamy (like the cucumber, cooked asparagus, and guacamole in the recipe below).
