Vegan Tacos

This is a colorful and flavorful recipe that is all about fresh ingredients. For best results, buy (or better yet, make) a good, fresh tortilla. And be sure to warm the tortilla up before serving. Also, I added a jalapeno because I love my tacos spicy, but feel free to leave it out if you’re not a chili-head like I am (don’t worry, we can still be friends).
