I usually find vegetarian tacos boring. These tacos, on the other hand, are anything but that. They are juicy, hearty, and unbelievably flavorful. I based the recipe on this Heidi Swanson recipe, and adapted it to my own tastes. I also used tortillas that are a blend of corn and wheat. I find that they don't break apart as easily and aren't as dry as corn tortillas, yet still have a great texture and corn flavor. You can double or triple the recipe and easily feed a crowd. Next, all you have to do is whip up some of these delicious margaritas, and you have yourself a party!
