Vegetarian Taco Lunch Wraps

Vegetarian Taco Lunch Wraps by Alison's AllspiceThis months recipe redux theme is Kids that Cook.  The thing I remember cooking most as a child was tortillas.  Mom would make a fresh batch every time we had tacos, and it was my job to flip them in the skillet. These vegetarian taco lunch wraps remind me of those tacos nights as a kid!

I didn’t like to have much in my tacos as a kid.  Plain tacos was always my request.  We always had homemade refried beans to go with our homemade tortillas, and I created this taco lunch wrap based on those 2 ingredients. Continue reading →

Fried Avocado Black Bean Tacos

Posted on November 14, 2017 | 8 comments

Fried Avocado Black Bean Tacos by Alison's AllspiceAvocado’s have been a little pricey here recently.  I have a serious love for avocados, so when I saw them on sale last week, I couldn’t resist!  I am usually good about not buying things I don’t have a plan for (because if I don’t have a plan, they don’t get used).  Therefore, I set out to make a plan for the avo’s I had brought home.  I had some leftover tortillas, so tacos were the obvious choice.  When I googled avocado tacos, I couldn’t believe that I had never heard of this deliciousness!  Fried avocado black bean tacos are my favorite new way to enjoy my beloved avocado!

Tempeh Gyro Tacos with Cucumber Salsa by Alison's AllspiceIt’s official, I’m obsessed with all things gyro!  I absolutely love the explosion of flavors, especially the tzatziki.  I remember the first gyro I ever had at a sandwich shop in college.  The sandwich maker asked if I wanted to add the tzatziki, and I didn’t know what it was at the time.  He explained that it’s a creamy sauce that you will either love or hate.  Well,  I loved it, needless to say.  My husband loves tacos, so these tempeh gyro tacos with cucumber salsa were a success!

Five Spice Shrimp Tacos with Rhubarb Ginger Sauce

Posted on July 24, 2017 | 10 comments

Five Spice Shrimp Tacos with Rhubarb Ginger Sauce by Alison's AllspiceHave you guys tried chinese 5-spice powder yet?  It’s been a popular up-and-coming spice for a while now, and I’m just now getting on board.  Chinese five-spice is a blend of Szechwan pepper, star anise, cinnamon, cloves, and fennel.  It has a wonderfully warming characteristic that pairs perfectly with other Asian flavors, such as ginger, and is not spicy.  My five spice shrimp tacos with rhubarb ginger sauce are an amazing twist between Asian and Mexican cuisines!

Chipotle Cauliflower Hummus Tacos with Cumin Slaw

Posted on July 17, 2017 | 16 comments

Chipotle Cauliflower Hummus Tacos with Cumin Slaw by Alison's AllspiceOne of the most fun things about recipe development is taking a recipe you love, and adapting it.  Sometimes it’s about making it healthier, or adapting it to fit different diets.  If you read here often, you know how much I love fish tacos.  However, a lot of readers here are not looking for fish based recipes (I don’t post many).  Therefore, I created chipotle cauliflower hummus tacos with cumin slaw to be vegan, and just as delicious!
