Harvest Taco Trio Mio :: Chef Mark Cleveland @ Hungry Harvest ::


 
Difficulty:  Easy
Time: 25 mins,
Servings: As Many As Y’all Want

You can make tacos every which way and loose from your Hungry Harvest Box.  We did three very different versions today.  One traditional, one Asian fusion in lettuce & seaweed wraps & a hearty flatbread version the kids will love.

BASIC TACO FARE
Ingredient
Prep Method
Favorite Harvest Vegetables & Fruits
Cooked and raw
Extra Harvest Salads in Jars

Extra Sriracha Cashew Broccoli


Let’s start w/ a trad taco.  I used corn tortillas grilled over an open flame to crisp them up.  Then I added one of my pint salads making sure not to soggy it up w/ too much dressing, next simple white beans, chili flakes & Harvest radish & mango. HARVEST HACKS:> If you’re trying to learn to like a new fruit or vegetable, just add a slice or two of each, as I did w/ the radish & mango. 








TACO WRAPPERS
Ingredient
Corn or flour tortillas
Romaine or butter lettuce leaves
Pita or favorite flatbreads














Asian fusion tacos are all veg.  On top of Harvest romaine leaves I layered on nori seaweed, then red kale & orange peppers marinated in a fresh squeeze of Harvest lemon juice, sesame seeds, soy sauce & toasted sesame oil.  Served w/ roasted chicken, fish or meatless meat as you wish.  Crisp & tasty!

TACO ADDITIONS
Ingredient
Beans
Seeds & nuts
Proteins (sausage, chicken, fish & seafood, meats, carnitas, meatless meats, etc.)
Salsa
Guacamole
Cilantro
Olives
Scallions or raw sliced onion











Flatbread tacos are good for the whole family & make a filling dinner meal.  I topped a flatbread w/ tomato slices, Mexi cheese blend, then Sriracha Cashew Broccoli from last week’s Harvest recipes.  Put it on a pizza pan in a 400 oven for about 7 mins, just to melt the cheese.  Arrange on a plate & garnish w/ yogurt, pepitas, beans & chopped fresh tomatoes (the end bits from my slices).  Fold up taco style.


Everything tastes good in tacos.  And almost all tacos are mostly veggies.  So this is a terrific platform for expanding our veggie preferences.  I like a mixture of cooked & raw veggies, hot and cold garnishes.
