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!

      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! 🙂

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.
🌸
The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week and you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

I updated my little corner by adding some pops of yellow. I just love adding yellow and I love adding lemons. Speaking of lemons, how cute is my little “Hello Sunshine” pillow is from @krumpetshomedecor.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
