A fantastic, vegetarian taco that’s both delicious and healthy! If you need more protein in your taco, consider adding cooked chicken, fish, or beans to the pepper and onion mixture.
Tip: This recipe doesn’t need a lot of jalapeño. If you find yourself with most of a pepper leftover, mince and freeze the rest in teaspoon-sized portions for use in similar recipes.

Salsa:
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- ⅓ cup onion, diced
- ½ tsp. minced jalapeño pepper
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tsp. lime juice

Tacos:
- 4 bell peppers, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 12 (8") flour tortillas
- 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ½ cup chopped celery
- 1 avocado, sliced
Directions
- Mix together the salsa ingredients and set aside.
- Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Add the bell peppers and onion and cook until the onion is soft (5-8 minutes).
- Fill each tortilla with the bell pepper mixture. Top with remaining ingredients and salsa.
