5 stars

I wasn't sure about this recipe, but wow -- this is a new "go to" for when we want to eat a plant-based meal.  This has everything to satisfy: creaminess from the avocado, acidity from the pickled onion, crunch from the peanuts, a little bitterness from the brussels sprouts, spiciness from the chipotle in adobo.  This is one of my new favorite recipes!

Brussels Sprout Tacos Ingredients: corn tortillas, avocado, roasted peanuts, cilantro, red onion, lime juice, Kosher salt

Spicy Roasted Brussels Sprouts: Brussels sprouts, chipotle in adobo, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, Kosher salt

Tips/Notes:
  • We used flour tortillas instead.
  • The chipotle in adobo mellowed out while roasting -- I was expecting a LOT of spice, but it wasn't super spicy.
  • Quarter the Brussels sprouts instead of halving them to make it easier to eat in the tacos.
  • Add sour cream to the tacos at the table.
