Avocado and Radish Microgreen Tacos
Ingredients:
8 small soft corn tortillas
2 ripe avocados, sliced
1 cup radish microgreens (Purple Rambo or China Rose radish works great)
1/2 cup crumbled feta or queso fresco
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Juice of 1 lime
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: Hot sauce or salsa
Protein Options: Grilled chicken, shrimp, steak, or black beans
Start by heating up a skillet over medium heat and lightly grilling the corn tortillas until they are soft and slightly charred, about 1-2 minutes per side. Set aside.
If you’re adding a protein, grill or cook your choice of chicken, shrimp, or steak. Season the protein with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. For chicken or steak, grill or cook in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. For shrimp, cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink. Let the meat rest before slicing it into thin strips. If using black beans, heat them up on the stove or microwave until warm.
Once your tortillas and protein are ready, layer each tortilla with slices of avocado, a sprinkle of diced red onion, and diced tomatoes. Add your cooked protein on top, then garnish with a generous handful of radish microgreens and crumbled feta or queso fresco.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over each taco, season with salt and pepper, and add fresh cilantro for extra flavor. If you like a bit of heat, add hot sauce or salsa to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy these fresh, flavorful, and nutritious tacos! 🌮
