summer vegetarian tacos
These seasonal tacos are fresh, light, and full of color and crunch. They’re also incredibly delicious!
This recipe is part of the Weeknight Dinners menu for this week. The three other dishes on the menu include a tomato and peach salad with chicken and goat cheese, an avocado and couscous salad with chicken, and an herby squash frittata. Sautéed chicken thighs and golden couscous are used twice to cut down cooking time and reduce food waste. There’s still time to join the cooking club if you’d like access to this week’s menu. You’ll also get a batch cook guide so you can prep ahead and a shopping list so you can get in and out of the store in no time. What are you waiting for? Join the cooking club now!
