Vegetarian Tacos
A vegetarian alternative to this Mexican favorite. My parents are a little leary of my non-meat dishes, but they love Mexican food. And this was a big hit. I was happy...
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 red pepper or green pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, de-seeded,minced (or to taste-can substitute hot sauce or a dash of cayenne for the heat)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (19 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
3-5 tablespoons of your favorite chunky salsa
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (I like the color this gives the beans)
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander (your choice)
8 taco shells
Taco Toppings
shreded cheddar cheese
shredded iceberg lettuce
salsa
hot sauce
fresh cilantro, chopped
tomatoes
black olives
sour cream
4 servings
1. In large fry pan, heat oil over medium heat.
2. Cook the onion, celery, red or green pepper, jalapeno, and garlic until softened.
3. Add garbanzo beans, spices, and a couple tsp of salsa.
4. Stir until heated through.
5. I like to fit the taco shells in a baking pan, spoon in filling evenly into the shells and bake in a 300 degree oven for 5 minuts or so.
6. It helps the shells from falling apart when you take the first bite.
7. Remove from oven and top with your favorite toppings.

I like to add 1 tsp of each, adobo a mexican seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, lemon pepper and taco season from the pouch, just a tsp of it. drain the meat once it's fully browned and put it into either a hard shell or soft shell and top with sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese, if you like it hot add slices of jalapeno
