Quinoa-kale tacos
corn tortillas
olive oil
onion
garlic
jalapeño/other hot pepper
red pepper
quinoa/other grain
kale/other heavy greens
salt, cumin, oregano, maybe some cayenne/etc if you want
cheese of choice
Oh man, these were good.
Soften and slightly toast some corn tortillas over the gas flame. You could also warm them in a pan, or use flour tortillas. It's all good. Just make sure they're still flexible for later taco folding.
For the filling, chop up half a red onion/some other onion and a clove or two of garlic and soften them in olive oil. Add some minced jalapeño and some chopped red pepper, some cumin and a little pinch of oregano. When everything is soft and delicious together, throw in a handful of cooked quinoa, a big handful of shredded kale, a pinch of salt, and a splash of water. Then cover it and let it steam until the quinoa is hot through and the kale is wilted and tender, maybe 3 minutes.
To finish, stick your tacos in a frying pan/the toaster oven/the actual oven for a few minutes, just until the cheese melts and the tortillas start to get crispy. Since everything is cooked already, this will be pretty quick: pay attention.
Et voila! TACOS.

These look fabulously healthy and oh-so flavorful and delicious. Mmmm. I love when something which is usually a guilty indulgence can be re-crafted as guilt free!
Why, thank you! I think I'm going to try them with sticky refried black beans next time, for even more protein kick.
