A delicious combination of crispy, caramelized Brussels sprouts and creamy, tangy avocado crema nestled inside warm tortillas. Perfect for a meatless taco option or adding more veggies to your meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • Optional toppings: pickled onions, crumbled feta, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Trim the stems and cut each Brussels sprout in half. Place them in a mixing bowl.
  3. Add olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the Brussels sprouts. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  5. Combine avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, and chopped cilantro in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or until warm and slightly charred.
  7. Place roasted Brussels sprouts on each tortilla. Drizzle with avocado crema and add optional toppings like pickled onions or crumbled feta.

Notes

[‘Ensure Brussels sprouts are evenly spaced on the baking sheet to avoid steaming.’, ‘Flip the sprouts halfway through roasting for even caramelization.’, ‘Add cayenne pepper or hot sauce for a spicier kick.’, ‘Wrap tortillas in a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while assembling.’, ‘Avocado crema can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge.’]
