Breakfast Tacos

This is the kind of meal that happens when Anna and I share a morning off work.
We've got 4 fresh whole grain tortillas from Central Market (our mutual employer.)
Plus:
scrambled eggs
fresh avacado
black bean dip (homemade recipe follows)
diced sauteed veggies
-bell peppers
-zuchinni
-onion
shredded cheddar & habanero cheddar
salsa

with some roasted potatoes on the side (pictured in the aluminum foil)

Homemade Black Bean Dip:

Soak dry black beans overnight then boil for 2 hours or until soft
(or use ready to use canned beans)
2c cooked beans

Sautee half an onion in oil with 2-3 cloves garlic. Once soft, add with the black beans into a blender or food processor, with the juice of half a lemon OR a Tablespoon apple cider vinegar. Puree and slowly add in oil until you reach your desired consistency. Add salt to taste. I also like to add cumin, paprika and cayenne.

Gorgonzola Cream Sauce

1 T Butter (I used a garlic herb butter)
1C Cream
1/4lb Gorgonzola

If you have trouble thickening the sauce, whisk in a slurry of 1t arrowroot powder + 1/2t cream

We usually stock up on good frozen raviolis when they are on sale. It makes for a quick delicious dinner. These ravioli were actually bought fresh from Central Market and are filled with Rock Shrimp and Basil. It wasn't exactly a "healthy meal" so I through in some steamed Broccoli Raab.

The next night with the left over cream sauce, we made veggie& shrimp fajitas. There were sauteed portobellos, yellow bell peppers, broccoli, red onion and fresh tomatoes, avacado, and cilantro in attendance.
