I burnt it but it was still good.
I tossed hearts of palm in a little oil along with crushed seaweed (snacks), cumin, garlic and onion powders. I then heated/browned them in the skillet.
Served on a flour tortilla and topped with a Vegenaise and Valentina sauce mix and chopped lettuce and onion.
Baked tortilla chips and potato/carrot queso on the side.
Made this in the Instant Pot. It was pretty good. I’m not a big fan of soup or sweet potato. I baked flour tortillas to go along with it.

For taco tuesday I made 3 different tacos. All served on flour “street” sized shells.
Roasted crunchy chickpea tacos with fresh radish and Valentina hot sauce. Seasoned and sauteed heart of palm tacos with cabbage and spicy #vegenaise. Seasoned and sauteed radish tacos with grilled onion and #herdezsalsa.
A friend gave us a few green tomatoes and an assortment of green peppers. I wasn’t sure what to do with the tomatoes and decided to try them in a curry.
I diced the tomatoes, chopped the peppers and cooked in a pan along with red onion. I then added a can of chickpeas, a can of coconut milk and a Tbsp of curry powder and dried basil. Was really good.
