Vegetarian Tacos with Homemade Tortillas

January 9, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 16 Comments

Hello and Happy Monday,

I am happy last week is behind me and I am starting fresh!  Last week I had computer problems at work, root canal, didn’t make my exercise goal and I just felt out of it.  But now, I am going to start out positive!  So here’s to looking forward!

I made so many good things this weekend I can’t wait to share with you, but Sunday’s night dinner rocked!  For the first time I made homemade tortilla’s.  They weren’t to hard to make and it was kind of fun!  I am proud of myself on this one and to top it off they were good!  No, not good, out of this world good!!  Nothing like fresh tortilla’s straight from the frying pan!  Oh and they smelled like a bakery.  I can still smell them, so good!  If you never experienced this, you have to, NOW!!

I was rummaging through the cupboards and I hate to say it, but I have no meat in the house and barely any veggies so I had to make due with what I had.  So I decided on making vegetarian taco’s.  It was quick, easy and very tasty.  My husband, the meat and potato’s guy loved it!  I was shocked!!!  Beside’s one thing is I never run out of is Mexican food!  I always hot sauce, salsa and cheese on hand!  Those are a must for me!


I had a lot of left over’s, so I know what I’ll be having for lunch tomorrow!   He he I can’t wait!!

For give the finger’s in the picture, but I just had to show you how good it looks!

I’m all smiles and happy right now!  I can’t believe how easy tortillas are to make!  Why did I wait so long to make them?

Flour Tortilla’s – Healthy Recipes Guru

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of white flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 2 tsp. vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup warm water

Directions:

Combined all dry ingredients and set aside.  Mix the oil and water completely together.

Now add the water and oil to the dry ingredients slowly  (1-2 tablespoons at a time).  Keep mixing until all of the water/oil mixture is gone.  The dough may still be sticky.

Knead the dough until it is smooth – Place the dough aside for 20 – 25 minutes covering it with a dish towel.  Then you will separate the dough, and roll them into golf size pieces.  Let them stand for 10 minutes.

Preheat the frying pan to medium-high.  There is no need for oil or cooking spray.  While the pan is heating up–take a dough piece and with the rolling pin flatten the dough out.  Continue this until all the dough has been flattened.  Start to cook the flat pieces of dough in the frying pan.  Watch the tortilla and after 45 seconds flip it to the other side.  After another 30-45 seconds on the second side–place the freshly cooked tortilla onto a plate and repeat.

Made 11 Tortilla’s

Vegetarian Taco Filling

Ingredients:

1 tsp. olive oil

1/4 cup onion, diced

1 large bell pepper, diced

1 10 oz can Rotel diced tomatoes with chili’s (I used Habanero, by mistake, hot, hot, hot!) not drained

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon paprika

1 15 oz can black beans, drained and washed

Directions:

In a skillet add olive oil, onions and bell pepper. Cook until tender, about 3 – 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and seasonings, saute for 10 minutes. Add black beans and cook until warm.

Serve with tortillas.

Additional toppings: Romaine Lettuce, Cheese, jalapenos, salsa, hot sauce, avocado, and greek yogurt

Makes 8 – 1/2 cup servings

Calories per serving:  131,  Fat:  .06,  Cholesterol:  0,  Sodium:  464,  Potassium:  34,  Carbs:  23,  Fiber:  6.2,  Sugar:  2.2,  Protein:  7.2

This was so good, looking at these pictures makes me want another one, even though I ate 3 and I am super full!  It’s just that good!  For the vegetarian seasoning, you could also add roasted corn, zucchini, cilantro or whatever your heart desires.  The seasonings in this dish were very good.  I would of added the additional ingredients, but like I said, I used what I had on hand.   You just have to make the tortilla’s.  You can freeze them too.  I plan on making big batches for easy cooking!

Hope you liked my little Mexican fiesta!  Oh, this would be really good for Super Bowl Sunday!!!  Still smiling here!

Have a wonderful day!!!

    How crazy cool is it that you MADE your own tortillas! I’m super impressed. The ones at the store are always SO subpar that I refuse to buy them. Guess it’s time to get in the kitchen and make my own! These tacos look awesome!

    Yuuummmmmm! I’m loving these veggie tacos! Except I would probably double the peppers and leave out the onions – not a fan of onions. Happy Monday!

      Lol, I got your messages under spam. If you ever leave a comment there and it goes in spam, thats ok, I still check my spam box! Seems like root canals are the thing for the new year. I would double the peppers too, but my husband is a total onion person and I don’t mind! 🙂

M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

We are a fabulous group of friends sharing their love of flowers and elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. I can’t believe that this weekend is Mothers Day. It just seems early this year. I am not sure what are plans are going to be this weekend?
🌷
I am sharing with you the @krumpetshomedecor deal of the week. It’s a set of two mango wood trays with a beautiful rope handle.
🌷
The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.
🌷
Don’t forget that Krumpets Home Decor is having 25% off there whole site. Plus you can use my 10% off discount code on top of the sale price: PBANDP. The link is in my bio.

Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. I have been sneezing like crazy and then my nose runs. Ugh! I never have allergies. It must be all the crazy weather. We’ve had high winds since last Tuesday and temps in the 70’s. Tomorrow mid 90’s, then back to the 70’s. No wonders my allergies are acting up.
🌸
I’ve been adding a little decor to my patio area. I love adding pillows and blankets for pops of color and to give a cozy feel. One of my newest additions is my new Verdure Wooden Candle Lantern that I got from @icosiest_furniture. It adds a romantic ambience in the evening.
🌸
The lantern is made from Fir wood and has a beautiful jute handle. The lantern can be hung or placed on a table. The candle is battery operated and looks so beautiful flickering in the evening. Swipe the photo to see it.
🌸
I love the style of the lantern and it would also look fabulous styled indoors. I can see the lantern on a shelf, centerpiece or on a console table. 
🌸
For a closeup of the lantern, check out my highlight. COSIEST was kind enough to give my followers a 15% off anything in there store: Jennifer15. The link is in my bio. 
🌸
Do you have allergies? If so, are they bad for you this year?

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had such beautiful weather. It was in the 70’s and sunny. I did a lot of work outside. Got some plants planted and rearranged my patio because I was #gifted a new dining set from @alphamartsus 
🌷
I am so excited to have an outdoor dining set. It’s going to be so fun to eat dinner outside, in front of my zinnia garden and water fountain. I’m so excited, you have no idea. 
🌷
The dining set is the PHI VILLA Rattan Dining Chairs Set with Extendable Table Patio Dining Set. The set I have is the 9 piece, but they also have a 7 piece set. You have your choice of chairs, cushioned or high back. I like the high back. The chair gives great support and is so comfortable to sit on.
🌷
The table is made of high quality metal with a special powder coating that will with stand the outside elements. The table is 60” long but can be extended to 83”. It’s so easy to extend the table. The leaf is built in and just flips to make the table longer or shorter. Swipe to see the leaf and how long the table is extended. The first few pictures, the table is extended to 60”. 
🌷
For more information on the dining set, check out my highlight. The link for Alpha Mart is in my bio.
🌷
Do you like to entertain outside?

Happy Earth Day! I would share my garden today, bu Happy Earth Day! I would share my garden today, but the weather has been awful this week. We’ve had heavy rains, high winds and it was a chilly week. They even had tornado warnings north of us. So crazy.
💙
This week I took advantage of the crappy weather and gave my kitchen a good cleaning. I wiped down all the cabinets, washed the floor and cleared my counter of clutter. Now only if it would stay this clean.
💙
You can swipe and see what our kitchen looked like before. It was so small, now it’s the biggest room. I’m so happy with how it turned out. We did it all ourselves, accept installing the countertops.

What are your plans for the weekend?
