A fantastic, vegetarian taco that’s both delicious and healthy! If you need more protein in your taco, consider adding cooked chicken, fish, or beans to the pepper and onion mixture.

Tip: This recipe doesn’t need a lot of jalapeño. If you find yourself with most of a pepper leftover, mince and freeze the rest in teaspoon-sized portions for use in similar recipes.
