Inspiration

Just hear me out: Most things that you would put on a (meatless) taco are fruits, so why not make everything fruit? Trust me, these fruit tacos hit all the sweet notes, and back them up with a little (or a lot) of fire 🔥🔥🔥.

Ingredients

Taco Filling

  • Corn tortillas*
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
  • 2 cups golden berries, halved or quartered
  • 2 kiwis. Peeled, finely diced
  • 2 avocados, cut into ½” cubes
  • 2 mangos, seeded, peeled, cut into ½” cubes. I love red mangos, the Tommy Atkins variety
  • 1 cup cucumber, peeled, seeded, finely diced
  • Optional: Chili peppers, I like the heat from Thai chilis 🔥🔥🔥

*GLUTEN SENSITIVITY:
Avoid using flour tortillas if you or someone you will be serving has a gluten sensitivity. Also, make sure that any other ingredients you use, such as sesame and pumpkin seeds, are labeled gluten-free.

GOLDEN BERRIES:
Also known as Inca berries, Peruvian groundcherries, poha berries, husk cherries, and cape gooseberries, golden berries are a member of the nightshade family native to Chile and Peru. They can be found in their husk or husked. They are high in antioxidants, exhibit anti-inflammatory effects, and may boost immunity, bone health, and vision. Just make sure they are ripe, as eating unripe golden berries can cause digestive upset and diarrhea.

Sauce

This sauce is perfect for this recipe, but it’s also incredible with our Salsa Verde recipe.

Sweet & Spicy Mayo

  • 2 tbsp plant-based mayo
  • 1 tbsp honey (or agave)
  • 1 tsp gochujang (or sriracha)
  • ½ tsp lime or lemon juice
  • Optional: 1-2 Thai red chilies, finely chopped 🔥🔥🔥

GOCHUJANG:
Gochujang is a savory, sweet, and spicy fermented condiment popular in Korean cooking.

Toppings

  • 6-8 mission figs, stem removed, halved, finely sliced
  • Cilantro, finely chopped
  • Optional: Microgreens (I like using amaranth)
  • Optional: Toasted pumpkin seeds
  • Optional: Sesame seeds
  • Optional: More Thai chilies 🔥🔥🔥
  • Optional: I used edible flowers to be a little fancy 🌸🌺🌼

AMAZING AMARANTH:
Amaranth is an excellent microgreen! They are rich in Vitamin K, Vitamin C, and iron, which are crucial for blood clotting, immune function, and red blood cell production. They also contain protein, which is essential for tissue repair. Other health benefits include enhanced immune function, improved bone health, and better digestion due to high fiber content.

Preparations

  1. Make your sauce first, then set it aside. This recipe will be ready before you know it, and you won’t be able to resist.
  2. Prepare the ingredients, place them in a bowl, and combine gently.
  3. Warm up the corn tortillas in a skillet or directly over an open flame.
  4. Add ingredients to your tortilla, add your sauce and toppings, and enjoy.

Tips

  • Experiment to your heart’s desire; there are no right or wrong combinations.
