Roasted Brussels Sprout and Sweet Potato Tacos with Kale Chimichurri

I recently read that the vegan eating will be a popular trend in 2019. As most of you know, I’ve been creating vegan dishes for some time now, and I always encourage a plant-based meal at least once or twice a week. These tacos are so incredibly flavorful and filling. If you have any leftover veggies, pack them up with quinoa or farro for a delicious lunch!

1. Preheat oven to 450. Place Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes and garbanzo beans in an even layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with spices; toss to coat. Roast for 20 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and lightly crisp.

2. Meanwhile, combine chimichurri ingredients in a food processor until smooth.

3. Place four tortillas on a plate and cover them with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

4. Place 4 tortillas (2 tortillas stacked together) onto each plate and top with the roasted Brussels sprout filling. Spoon chimichurri over and serve.
