Method

Taco Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    If using vegetarian protein, cook black beans or lentils until tender. For chicken, grill or sauté until cooked through and shredded. For steak, grill or pan-sear to desired doneness and slice thinly.

  2. 2

    Prepare Toppings

    Chop cherry tomatoes, lettuce, and red onion. Finely chop cilantro and set aside. Cut the lime into wedges.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds on each side. Fill each tortilla with the prepared filling, then top with chopped tomatoes, lettuce, red onion, and cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over the top and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Quesadilla Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Quesadilla

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Place one flour tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on top, and then spread a layer of guacamole. Top with the remaining cheese and cover with the second tortilla.

  2. 5

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is fully melted.

  3. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve alongside the tacos.
