Ingredients
  • Whole wheat tacos
  • 1 taro root Julianne cut.
  • 1 purple cabbage Julianne cut.
  • 1 Red bell-pepper Julianne cut.
  • 1 red Onion Julianne cut.
  • 2 jalapeño peppers. Slit length wise.
  • ½ tsp - chili powder. if you want some kick.
  • ½ tsp - fresh coriander seed powder. Optional.
  • ½ tsp - cumin seeds.
  • Cilantro
  • 3 tbsp your choice of oil. Coconut oil is healthiest.
  • Pink himalayan salt

  • Fresh thyme
Instructions
  1. Pour approximately 1 tbsp oil and heat a pan to medium heat.
  2. Add ¼rd of onions, one jalapeño and purple cabbage. Increase heat to high.
  3. Add salt, ¼rd of chili powder, ¼ of coriander powder from above. Stir for 30 seconds.
  4. When cabbage is cooked and while crunchy, turn off heat. Do not cook till soft. Cooking for long makes water come out and cabbage becomes soft.
  5. Remove to a bowl and wipe the pan.
  6. In same pan, add 2 tbsp oil. Heat to medium.
  7. Add cumin seeds. Cook till golden brown.
  8. Add jalapeños, taro. Stir occasionally. I cook taro first as it cooks longer than onion and bell-pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Adding jalapeños in the beginning helps to seep its flavor into all vegetables.
  9. Increase heat to high. Now add onion, bell peppers. Add salt, chili powder and coriander powder. Stir well. Cook for 3-5 minutes. Make sure they are cooked yet crunchy. Turn off stove
  10. Add cabbage to this and mix well.
  11. In a blender, add yogurt, thyme and salt. Blend for 1 minute.
  12. Cook whole wheat tacos on a griddle on both sides.
  13. Place veggie mixture on tacos.
  14. Garnish veggies with yogurt dressing and cilantro.
  15. Serve immediately and enjoy.
