Recommended Recipes
Zucchini Pinwheel Enchiladas
This lighter version of enchiladas is not only delicious but really fun to make. Its also a great way to use leftovers. I had some leftover black beans that I made because I was all out of any bean in a can and decided to draw from the dried beans I had collected at the beginning of the pandemic. So here I am with these dried beans and I decided to pressure cook two cups in my Instant Pot and it was a lot. I used some of the beans for tacos and the leftovers I used for this incredible dish.
Za’atar Spiced Eggplant Tacos
One of our favorite ways to use our Middle Eastern Spice is on eggplant. When you combine that with tortillas it is perfection! If you are in the mood for tacos, but want to avoid the heavy, saucy stuff, try these. You won’t be disappointed.
Jamaican Jerk Shrimp Tacos
This is one of my favorite recipes, and it’s perfect for any night of the week. The spicy shrimp combined with the fresh crunch of the spiralized beets and fennel create a taste sensation that’s like a reggae party in your mouth! If you like extra spicy, feel free to add more Healthy On You® No Woman No Spice spice blend to the marinade.
