bonnie's awesome asparagus tacos
Bonnie's Asparagus Tacos is a complete and satisfying meatless meal. You could certainly add cooked meat to it if you want to, but it really doesn't need it. These large tacos are packed with nutritious vegetables like asparagus, cabbage, carrots, parsley, avocado, and a bit of mozzarella cheese. Drizzled with coleslaw dressing and brightened with lemon, and nestled inside a yellow corn taco shell fried in grapeseed oil. This yummy taco will become your favorite as soon as you taste it. This is my humble recipe. You won't find another one like it. Enjoy!

How To Make bonnie's awesome asparagus tacos
-
Step 1Assemble all ingredients before you begin cooking. I have listed the ingredients according to usage for ease of preparation. -
Step 2Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat with enough grapeseed oil to fry two super-sized taco shells until golden brown and crisp.
-
Step 3Blot taco shells on paper towels and set aside to keep warm.
-
Step 4I knife-cut my fresh coleslaw cabbage and carrots. Chop the leaves of the parsley and add them to the cabbage. Stir fry the cabbage, carrot, and parsley mixture for about one minute in one teaspoon of grapeseed oil.
-
Step 5You just want it to wilt, so make sure it still has a crunch to it.
-
Step 6Immediately place the hot cabbage inside the taco shells, followed by the grated mozzarella cheese, so it will start to melt.
-
Step 7Asparagus should be about 6 inches long with the ends discarded. Rinse the asparagus and be sure to blot with paper towels before placing in the hot oil, so it doesn't splatter on you. Use as little grapeseed oil as possible for stir-frying.
-
Step 8Stir fry the asparagus until it is starting to brown, but still has a crunch to it, then place the hot asparagus on top of the cheese in the taco.
-
Step 9Add salt and pepper if you wish, and squeeze lemon over each taco.
-
Step 10Drizzle with coleslaw dressing.
-
Step 11Add La Victoria green sauce if you are using it. Serve!
-
Step 12This is how it looks. Enjoy!
