How happy was I when I opened my refrigerator today and saw the Tomatillo Salsa Verde I had whipped up yesterday. I was able to make a perfect lunch with a hodgepodge of ingredients from my fridge and cupboard. These Veggie Tacos with Tomatillo Salsa Verde can be thrown together with a variety of vegetables, lettuces, beans and cheese.
What I used in today’s tacos:
I found some corn tortillas in the freezer, a can of black beans in the cupboard, arugula, avocado, purple cabbage and cheddar cheese in the fridge and a couple of radishes from my garden –yay!! This little lunch would have been perfectly good without the Salsa Verde but so much better with it.
A perfect example of a pantry-friendly recipe. I planned ahead, stocked my cupboard and freezer with items for future use and they were there in my time of need.
Other veggie combos:
• raw shredded or sautéed zucchini, spinach leaves, avocado and feta cheese with white beans and salsa verde
• whole grain tortilla with refried beans, cheddar cheese, arugula and salsa verde
For non vegetarians:
• add leftover chicken or steak to any of the above combinations
