From Scratch Veggie Tacos

I was craving tacos tonight and really wanted to try to make my own from scratch.  I notice that there is a massive load of additives and salts in the packet taco mix, so I did a search of spices needed in taco sauce.

So I simply chopped up 1 1/2 cups of mixed red/green capsicums and red onions and fried in a non stick pan with a spray of oil and a teaspoon of garlic and teaspoon of chilli.  I then added a tablespoon of tomato paste, 1/2 tin of red beans and 1/2 tin of chopped tomatoes (or 1 whole tomato chopped) and allowed to fry for about a minute.  Add a teaspoon of paprika and teaspoon of powdered cumin.  Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes.

Place in taco shell and top with iceberg lettuce, chopped tomato, grated carrot.  Add sour cream and cheese if desired!

This mix makes about 2-3 tacos. It has a slight after burn, so you can omit the chilli if spice is a concern.

Enjoy!
