Vegan Tacos!!!

It's kind of funny when you're craving a certain food isn't it? It's like out of nowhere comes this image, FLYING through your head, and within seconds, your thoughts have determined in some form or another that you MUST have this food!




Isn't that crazy?






So, next thing you know, here I go flying out of my chair like a mad woman, only to realize-  I never bought the spaghetti noodles! Who had interrupted me? Why was this not in my cabinet?!



Before the next accusing thought had a chance to make it's way to the forefront of my brain, I was saved by yet another thought! Helpful, this time!




Veeeeeeegan Tacos!!





Seriously one of those moments when the world opens up and gives you a big 'ol pat on the back! 



You go girl! 





Ingredients
Pita Bread
1/2 of an avocado
handful of raw sunflower seeds
Hot sauce
Roasted red pepper hummus
Vegan Mozzarella Shreds





I'm currently obsessed with toasted raw sunflower seeds. So perfect for snacking.



In a skillet (no oil), place a handful of raw sunflower seeds, flipping over a few times until the seeds have a slight, brown tint. Place in a bowl off to the side, to cool.


Spread some roasted red pepper hummus onto pita bread. Next, place the pita bread in a skillet (medium - low heat, no oil).  Top with cheese, avocado slices and sunflower seeds. 

Fold in half and cook for a few minutes on both sides, and remove from heat.




Sprinkle a little hot sauce and that baby is ready to devour!!





Enjoy!

Peach + Goat Cheese Quesadilla w/ Avocado

Eeeeeeee!!!! I don't know what it is about me and food, but I get so excited to experiment with new recipes!



You too, right?




Don't lie, I know you do.


Today's recipe was inspired by my cheese craving, and that itch for a taste of something sweet and salty.


Peach + goat cheese? It was meant to be, y'all. 





Especially when you add in the crispy, buttery taste of some warm tortillas and smooth avocado!
Whew, chile!



Ingredients

4 small / medium flour tortillas
2 handfuls of goat cheese
2 whole sliced peaches
1 tbsp butter
1 avocado

Makes 2 Servings




On medium - low heat, add 1/2 tbsp of butter. (I try and use as little butter as possible to keep it less fatty.) 

When your butter has melted, add your first tortilla and top with goat cheese (be careful, goat cheese has a lot of flavor so only add one small handful per quesadilla).

Place your sliced peaches on top of the goat cheese and place the second tortilla on top.

Flip over once your first side is crisp to your liking. (I don't add extra butter here, you don't really need to, the tortilla will still have a nice flavor and won't stick). 


Cook until your second side is crisp and remove from heat. Repeat with second quesadilla.



Serve with fresh slices of avocado and dig in!



Enjoy!
