Veggie And Meat Lovers Taco Bar Food

VEGETARIAN TACOS WITH AVOCADO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the chopped eggplant, squash, red pepper and tomatoes onto the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and pinches of salt and pepper and roast until golden brown around the edges 25-30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a food processor, blend together the tomatillo salsa, pepitas, avocado, spinach, olive oil, lime juice and pinches of salt and pepper, to taste. Chill until ready to use.
• Assemble the tacos with the black beans, roasted vegetables, diced avocado, cilantro, serrano, and cotija, if using, and generous scoops of sauce. Serve with extra sauce on the side.

ROASTED VEGGIE TACO SKILLET

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and light green and white scallions and quickly saute, taking care not to burn the garlic, for 2 minutes. Stir in the green chiles and chili powder and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the roasted veggies, black beans, spinach and corn. Season with salt and pepper and add the salsa. Increase the heat to medium-high and let cook until the spinach and corn thaw and the sauce gently simmers, 10 to 12 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water if necessary, to thin out the sauce.
• Top with the cheese, then cover and let cook until the cheese is fully melted, about 3 minutes. Top with the scallion greens and any other optional garnish. Serve from the skillet with the tortillas.

MEAT LOVER'S BREAKFAST SANDWICH

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Divide the sausage in half and form each piece into a thin 4-inch patty. Add the patties to the skillet and cook until golden and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve the skillet and drippings.
• Whisk together the eggs with the cream cheese, chives, cilantro, parsley, a sprinkle of salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Heat the skillet and drippings over medium heat. Add the eggs and stir for the first 30 seconds with a silicone spatula to break up the curds as they cook. Stop stirring and let the eggs cook another 30 seconds (they will still be wet on top), then slide the omelet onto a plate. Flip the eggs back into the skillet so the uncooked side is face down. Top one side of the eggs with the Cheddar. Cook until the eggs are cooked through but still soft, another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Put a sausage patty "bun" on a plate. Using the silicone spatula, fold the omelet in half, then into quarters before sliding it out of the skillet and onto the sausage patty. Top with the sliced avocado and the second sausage patty "bun."
