Even though it is the 4th of July, it's still Tuesday, which means Taco Tuesday. Today's vegetarian tacos include Tandoor Tofu Scramble Tacos, Banana Chocolate Tacos, and Ice Cream Tacos. Enjoy!
JAMAICAN JERK TEMPEH TACOS
This comes from Brian Sanuels’ wonderful food blog, A Thought For Food. You really should check out both his food blog and photography site (the first link).
To read what Brian wrote about tempeh (something I really need to get more into), as well as to view this recipe on his site, click here.
Ingredients for jerk tempeh
8 oz package organic, non-GMO tempeh, sliced (the size is up to you. It's for tacos, so not too thick).
1/2 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1.5 tablespoons minced ginger
1.5 teaspoons cayenne
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons allspice
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 tablespoons molasses
1/3 cup soy sauce
Juice of two limes
3 tablespoons olive oil
For the tacos
Soft corn or flour tortilla
Fennel bulb, white part thinly sliced
Radish, thinly sliced
Cilantro
Lime, cut into wedges
Directions
In a bowl, add the garlic, ginger, spices, molasses, soy sauce, lime juice, and olive oil and whisk to combine.
Add the sliced tempeh and onion to the marinade and mix to coat each piece. Transfer to a container with a lid and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, and as many as 8, before using (I let it sit overnight). This will allow them to absorb the jerk marinade and the lime will cure the sliced onion. Be sure to warm (or bring to room temp) before using.
To prepare the tacos, spoon some of the tempeh and onion onto a tortilla, along with some of the jerk marinade. Top with sliced fennel, radish, and cilantro leaves. Serve with lime wedge.
TACO CHILI

GREEK CHICKPEA TACOS
I found this, along with five other taco recipes, on the Runner’s World website (posted on June 26, 2018), though it’s originally from the Prevention test kitchen.
This recipe begins, “Bring the Mediterranean diet to taco night: This dish delivers probiotic-rich Greek yogurt, stomach-soothing mint, and 10 grams of fiber per serving for healthy digestion.”
Serves: 4; Prep Time: 10 minutes; Total Time: 20 minutes
This can be found at https://www.runnersworld.com/nutrition-weight-loss/a21946015/healthy-taco-recipes/. They were originally from: Prevention US.
Ingredients
1 can (15 oz) unsalted chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
4 whole wheat pitas (6" diameter), warmed
2 c mixed spring greens

ICE CREAM TACOS
I can hear it now: Ice cream tacos??? Are you crazy?
Well, maybe. But this recipe is definitely something that makes for a perfect dessert – especially on Taco Tuesday.
This is from Leah Maroney, who, besides writing for The Spruce Eats, has her own blog, Mini Pie Kitchen.
For this recipe, Leah wrote, “Move over Choco Tacos, these homemade ice cream tacos are in town. You only need flour tortillas, ice cream, and chocolate chips to make these babies a reality.
“Get a little crazy and make your own ice cream or your own waffle cone shells. Or keep it simple and use the store-bought kinds. You really can't go wrong.
“Ice cream tacos are a fun party treat or spin on popular on-the-go ice creams. Just make sure to serve and eat them quickly!”
Total: 4 hrs 35 mins; Prep: 4 hrs 35 mins;Cook: 0 mins; Yield: 6 ice cream tacos (serves 6)
To view this online, click here.
Ingredients
6 flour tortillas (6-inch)
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon sugar
10 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
6 scoops vanilla ice cream (or other ice cream of your choice)
Garnish: sprinkles
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Make 6 foil logs that are large enough so that the tortillas can drape over them to form a taco shell shape. Lay them on the parchment paper and drape the tortillas over each log.
Melt the butter in the microwave. Brush the butter over the top of each tortilla. Then sprinkle each tortilla with the sugar.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Remove them from the oven and allow to cool. Then place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 15 minutes or until very cold.
Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl for 30 second increments, stirring in between until it is completely smooth and melted.
Remove the bowl from the microwave and brush the melted chocolate on the inside of each shell until coated. Place the shells back in the freezer and freeze for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened completely.
While the shells are hardening again, take the ice cream out of the freezer and allow it to soften slightly. Fill each shell with a large scoop of ice cream to the top edge of the shell. Squeeze the shell slightly to disperse the ice cream, being careful not to break the shell.
Place it back onto the baking sheet and freeze again for 1 to 2 hours, until very firm.
Reheat the chocolate in 30 second increments until melted. Pour it into a loaf pan. Dip the top of each taco in the chocolate quickly, covering the ice cream and the top edges of the shell. You need to work quickly so that the ice cream does not mess. Spoon more onto the top of the tacos if needed and then sprinkle generously with sprinkles.
Place them back on the parchment paper and freeze again until the chocolate is completely hardened and then serve!
BANANA CHOCOLATE TACOS
Chocolate? Bananas? On tacos? Sure, why not? This one (from the May 2016 issue of Runner’s World) begins, “This taco is a smart dessert choice as research shows dark chocolate can improve brain functioning. Each bite also has the carbs needed to restock your muscles after a spirited run. Plus, ricotta is rich in whey protein to make it easier to build stronger muscles.”
Ingredients
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
2 Tbsp. almond butter
1 Tbsp. maple syrup
1–2 tsp. orange zest
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 oz. chopped dark chocolate
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
4 small bananas, sliced into 1/2" pieces
4 small (6") whole-wheat tortillas, heated according to package
1/4 cup unsweetened toasted coconut flakes
Instructions
Stir together ricotta, almond butter, syrup, orange zest and vanilla.
Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until chocolate is melted. Stir in cinnamon.
Spread ricotta mixture on tortillas and top with banana. Drizzle chocolate sauce over top and sprinkle on coconut flakes. Serves 4.

AVOCADO TACOS
This comes from Jeff Gordinier in The New York Times cooking e-newsletter. The recipe begins, “Most top chefs will tell you the same thing: When they finally escape from the elaborate labors they oversee in the kitchen, they crave late-night street food that’s poetically simple and satisfying: hot dogs, fried rice, a bowl of noodles. For Enrique Olvera, the chef at Cosme in New York and Pujol in Mexico City, that hand-to-mouth haiku can be found in avocado tacos, which he scarfs down around the clock. They serve as both ‘a comfort,’ he said, and ‘a cultural expression.’ In its most basic form, an avocado taco is like a two-bite couplet in praise of Mexican ingredients: a chewy corn tortilla enclosing creamy slices of the-butter-that-grows-on-trees. Spare additions elevate that avocado: a pinch of salt, a spray of lime juice, a sprinkle of chopped onions and cilantro. But the chef takes elevation one step further with a salsa made of pasilla chiles and tomatillos.”
Yield: 12 tacos; Time: 45 minutes.
This recipe was featured in “Scouting the Scene” and can be viewed online here.
Ingredients
4 pasilla chiles
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
2 garlic cloves
10 tomatillos, boiled in salted water for 15 minutes or until soft
3 avocados, sliced thin
12 corn tortillas
3/4 cup white onion, finely diced
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Preparation
Make the salsa: Snap the stems off the chiles and remove the seeds. Using tongs, carefully hold the chiles over a medium flame to char on all sides. Transfer chiles to a food processor, add the salt and process into a powder. Add the garlic and tomatillos and purée until smooth. (This makes 1 pint salsa, more than needed; refrigerate the rest in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.)
To serve, place 3 or 4 slices of avocado on each tortilla and top with salsa, onion and cilantro.

SOFT BLACK BEAN TACOS WITH SALSA AND CABBAGE
This comes from Martha Rose Shulman, also in The New York Times cooking e-newsletter. Martha wrote, “Canned black beans and lots of cabbage combine in a quick, utterly satisfying one-dish taco dinner. They can be served open-faced or folded over.” Yield: 4 servings; Time: about 20 minutes.
This was featured in “Quick One-Dish Meals, Some Cooking Required” and can be viewed online here.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon canola or grape seed oil
1 teaspoon medium-hot chili powder (more to taste)
1 teaspoon ground lightly toasted cumin seeds (more to taste)
2 cans black beans, with liquid
Salt to taste
8 corn tortillas
1 cup fresh or bottled salsa
3 ounces either queso fresco, feta, or sharp cheddar, grated or crumbled
2 cups shredded cabbage
Preparation
Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add the chili powder and ground cumin. Allow the spices to sizzle for about half a minute, until very fragrant, and stir in the black beans and 1/2 cup water. Cook, stirring and mashing the beans with the back of your spoon, for 5 to 10 minutes, until thick and fragrant. Be careful that you don’t let the beans dry out too much. If they do, add a little more water. Remove from the heat.
Heat the tortillas, two or three at a time, in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, or in a microwave. Top with the black beans, salsa, cheese and cabbage. Fold the filled tortillas over if desired and serve. Alternatively, one at a time, place a tortilla on a plate, top with the beans and cheese and heat through for 30 seconds to a minute in a microwave. Then top with salsa and a generous handful of cabbage, and serve.
Tip
Make fresh salsa with 2 or 3 chopped roma tomatoes, 1 or 2 jalapeños or serrano chiles, a little chopped onion or shallot if desired, salt, a squeeze of lime juice, and chopped fresh cilantro.

It's time for another Taco Tuesday. Today's yumminess includes Tandoor Tofu Scramble Tacos and Ice Cream Tacos. (Yes, you read that right!) Enjoy!
MOCHA DESSERT TACOS
I found this, along with five other taco recipes, on the Runner’s World website (posted on June 26, 2018), though it’s originally from the Prevention test kitchen.
This recipe begins, “These blueberry-pancake taco shells are made from whole wheat flour for extra heart-healthy magnesium (a mineral the typical American diet falls short on).”
Serves: 6; Prep Time: 5 minutes; Total Times: 25 minutes
This can be found at https://www.runnersworld.com/nutrition-weight-loss/a21946015/healthy-taco-recipes/. They were originally from: Prevention US.
Ingredients
4 oz dark chocolate, finely chopped
1 tsp instant espresso powder or coffee granules
2 medium bananas
3 large eggs
1 c blueberries
1/2 c whole wheat flour
2 tsp whole milk
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp canola oil
2 c berries (such as blueberries and raspberries)
Directions
Microwave chocolate in 15-second bursts in microwave-safe bowl, stirring intermittently, until melted. Stir in espresso powder until smooth.
Puree bananas, eggs, blueberries, flour, milk, baking powder, and salt in blender until smooth.
Heat 1 tsp oil in large nonstick skillet over medium. Dollop 1/4 cup batter into skillet (spread slightly) and cook until top is set, 2 to 3 minutes; flip and cook until golden on bottom, 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter, adding remaining oil as needed.
Fold each pancake and fill with berries. Drizzle with chocolate-coffee sauce.

ICE CREAM TACOS
I can hear it now: Ice cream tacos??? Are you crazy?
Well, maybe. But this recipe is definitely something that makes for a perfect dessert – especially on Taco Tuesday.
This is from Leah Maroney, who, besides writing for The Spruce Eats, has her own blog, Mini Pie Kitchen.
For this recipe, Leah wrote, “Move over Choco Tacos, these homemade ice cream tacos are in town. You only need flour tortillas, ice cream, and chocolate chips to make these babies a reality.
“Get a little crazy and make your own ice cream or your own waffle cone shells. Or keep it simple and use the store-bought kinds. You really can't go wrong.
“Ice cream tacos are a fun party treat or spin on popular on-the-go ice creams. Just make sure to serve and eat them quickly!”
Total: 4 hrs 35 mins; Prep: 4 hrs 35 mins;Cook: 0 mins; Yield: 6 ice cream tacos (serves 6)

Ingredients
6 flour tortillas (6-inch)
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon sugar
10 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
6 scoops vanilla ice cream (or other ice cream of your choice)
Garnish: sprinkles
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Make 6 foil logs that are large enough so that the tortillas can drape over them to form a taco shell shape. Lay them on the parchment paper and drape the tortillas over each log.
Melt the butter in the microwave. Brush the butter over the top of each tortilla. Then sprinkle each tortilla with the sugar.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Remove them from the oven and allow to cool. Then place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 15 minutes or until very cold.
Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl for 30 second increments, stirring in between until it is completely smooth and melted.
Remove the bowl from the microwave and brush the melted chocolate on the inside of each shell until coated. Place the shells back in the freezer and freeze for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened completely.
While the shells are hardening again, take the ice cream out of the freezer and allow it to soften slightly. Fill each shell with a large scoop of ice cream to the top edge of the shell. Squeeze the shell slightly to disperse the ice cream, being careful not to break the shell.
Place it back onto the baking sheet and freeze again for 1 to 2 hours, until very firm.
Reheat the chocolate in 30 second increments until melted. Pour it into a loaf pan. Dip the top of each taco in the chocolate quickly, covering the ice cream and the top edges of the shell. You need to work quickly so that the ice cream does not mess. Spoon more onto the top of the tacos if needed and then sprinkle generously with sprinkles.
Place them back on the parchment paper and freeze again until the chocolate is completely hardened and then serve!
