Eat more veggies!! Let's add them to our tacos...

I love tacos. My kids love tacos. My husband loves tacos. We. all. love. tacos. So in an attempt to incorporate even more veggies into our diets, I came up with this vegetable mixture to add to our tacos. My husband used the leftovers in a "burrito bowl" at work the next day. You could also fold this mixture into a burrito. Either way, it adds lots of flavor and nutrition to taco night. I prepped all of these veggies on the weekend, attempting to save time during the week.

Ingredients:
3 medium zucchini
2 bell peppers (I used one red, one yellow)
1 onion
2 anaheim peppers
Season with Salt and Pepper, unless the accompaniments are salty

Directions:
Sautee veggies in a large pan with one TB of cooking oil (vegetable, olive, or coconut oil) until tender.  Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. I usually just watch the onions, as when they become translucent they are done, and the other veggies are usually done too. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve with your favorite tacos. This time, we had the following:

Carne Asada (the Trader Joe's marinated one that takes only FIVE MINUTES to make!!)
Shrimp (frozen ones from Trader Joe's, defrosted, and tossed with my homemade taco seasoning)
Avocado Cream (I blend about 1 cup nonfat greek yogurt with one avocado)
Black Beans
Lettuce
Salsa
Cheese
Diced Green Onion
Cilantro
Fresh Tortillas

Voila! 
Steak Tacos with Veggies and Avocado Cream
