Mexican street food - Veggie burrito

---

"Hola Chicas!" That's how you spread good vibes directly and also the soul will enjoy the vegetarian tacos. We from food for flexitarians would like to show you an "el classico" of the Spanish cuisine. With this dish it is very easy for me to do without animal products and instead resort to vegetables. Definitely a dish for family and friends. A glass of wine with the tacos and the good mood comes all by itself.

Ingredients

• 200g vegetarian gyros

• 150g lettuce

• 10 taco shells

• 2 red onion

• 2 garlic cloves

• 1 avocado

• 1 tomato

• 1 bunch green asparagus

• 1 carrot

• 1 zucchini

• 1 ginger

• 1 red chili

• Some fresh coriander

• Lime juice and lime zest of one lime

• salt/pepper

• Canola oil

Instructions

First peel and chop an onion and the carrot. Sauté both with a little oil and the garlic. Cut off the lower third of the asparagus and then wash the asparagus and the zucchini. In the next step, cut the zucchini and asparagus into bite-sized pieces and fry them together.

Then season the vegetarian gyros with salt, pepper, the finely chopped red chili and finely chopped ginger and sauté until hot.

In the meantime, you can preheat the oven to 160 degrees and then warm up your taco shells. Wash the lettuce and dry it in a salad spinner.

For the guacamole, we peel the onion and cut it into brunoise. Cut the avocado in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Then mash it with a fork and put it in a bowl. Wash the tomato and cut it into small pieces. Now add the tomato pieces, the onion brunoise, the lime juice and the lime zest to the avocado and mix everything. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

After you have prepared everything, you can fill the tacos to your desire and enjoy them.

Resumé

Tacos are ideal for a group meal. Family, friends, and even kids will have fun making them. From vegetarian, to vegan, all combinations are possible and we at food for flexitarians wish you a bon appétit!

FAQ

Can I use real meat instead of vegetarian gyros?

Of course — thinly sliced chicken or beef gyros work just as well here; sear them with the same spices before assembling so the flavors stay consistent with the rest of the filling.

How do I keep the avocado from browning if I prep ahead?

Toss the diced avocado with a little extra lime juice and press plastic wrap directly onto its surface — this slows oxidation so you can prep it up to a few hours in advance.

What if I don't have taco shells?

Soft flour or corn tortillas work perfectly as a burrito wrap instead — just warm them briefly in a dry pan so they're pliable enough to roll without cracking.
