This creation came about one night when I was craving tacos but we didn’t have our usual fresh veggie spread of toppings on hand so made this bad boy recipe up as I went along!
This masterpiece is stuffed full of sooo many vegetables you wouldn’t believe if I told you. As a matter of fact Justin came flying down the stairs for seconds with his mouth still full saying how incredible this meal turned out. But he absolutely did not believe me when I told him all it had in it! Definitely a new staple in the meal rotation for sure!!!
