Good and tasty food that is good for you? I'll take that, any day!
That has been our goal since we started this blog four and a half years ago. To bring you vegan and vegetarian recipes that not only taste good, but also have some nutritional value.
Of course we don't ALWAYS achieve that (we all need a little dessert to brighten up our day every now and then, right??), but for the most part, we've done pretty well... Or at least we think so!
We've definitely done it with this recipe though. We've gathered some of our favorite fall ingredients, that also happen to rank pretty high in the "good for you" food list and created this delicious taco: sweet potatoes, hearty beets, crunchy apples and of course, super creamy avocado.
So tasty and satisfying, you will not miss the meat one bit. And to make it even better, super easy to prepare. No fancy ingredients, ready in a little over 30 minutes and perfect to make ahead.

I always look for comments but it seems like most have not even tried the recipe. The outcome or suggestions would be helpful if someone actually made the recipe.
Vicky & Ruth says
Hi Diana,
Unfortunately, not everyone that makes the recipe leaves a comment. If you decide to try the recipe we would love your feedback. Thank you so much.

I made these tacos ( without the apple ) yesterday for lunch and my family really enjoyed. My husband likes them spicy so he used a little bit more of sriracha sauce.
