FILLING tacos, if we're being honest.  

I know it's cliche to start the new year with an obviously healthy recipe, but it wasn't intentional - really just something I made and photographed and wanted to show you because Jay's all wahhhhhh I don't eat meaaatttt and I'm all wahhhhhh I hate you.  IMG_4592

So, we compromise.   I make more vegetarian meals, but they have to include vinegary pickly things like chimichurri and cheese.  All the cheese!  

What would even be the point of a taco without cheese?

IMG_4600These are ACTUALLY good enough that you won't miss the meat, I promise.  Promise!  You can really use any veggies you like, but the combination of shiitake mushrooms, kale, and butternut squash is great for me here.  We of course use tortillas and feta to garnish, and salt and chili powder to season.  Then the chimichurri is garlic, parsley, cilantro, red wine vinegar, and olive oil.  On the squash, you could of course grab a whole one and cut it up yourself, but I love how easy the prepackaged stuff is.  Same with the kale - you can prep your own, we just want it in big chunks.  IMG_4555

So, let's get to it!  I start the veggies, then make the chimichurri, then finish the veggies, then we're done.  Ok?  Great.  Preheat the oven to 425F, and prep the mushrooms.  We take the stems off and slice them thinly.  IMG_4558

Then, the mushrooms and butternut squash go on a sheet pan - as close to one layer as you can manage so we get that really nice crispy edges that come from roasting.  IMG_4559

Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, and sprinkle them with salt and chili powder.  Then we just stick them in the oven to roast!IMG_4561

While that's happening, make the chimichurri.  All ingredients in a little food processor or blender....IMG_4563

...blend.  Boom.  Done.IMG_4564  

Now, after 20 minutes or so the butternut squash should be nearly roasted.  IMG_4565

At that point, add the kale to the mixture and stir it just a time or two to combine everything.  IMG_4568

Now, we stick it back in the oven!IMG_4569

Just five more minutes with the kale to wilt it slightly, and we're good to go!IMG_4571

I like to make a big platter of all the stuff we're using so that everyone can make their own.  IMG_4583

You could also serve some shredded chicken on the side for meat-eaters, but it's really not necessary.  The texture of the veggies with the cheese and chimichurri are plenty of flavor, and even just one taco is FILLING.  IMG_4585

Make these soon, and enjoy!  You'll be on a health kick for at least a few more weeks, so we may as well enjoy the motivation while it lasts, right?  IMG_4589
