Healthy Vegan - Purple Green French Beans, Carrot and Potato Tacos
I have been in the garden plot picking the last of the plums for plum jam and purple climbing French beans. Ah they have been lovely to grow, but upon cooking they turn a dull green.
I made this French Bean, Carrot and Potato filling in order to make some Taco's. I used Wahaca Yellow Corn Tortilla, and finished it off with a generous dollop o soured cream. Folded it over and the smothered it further with some Tomatilla Salsa.
This Purple Green French Bean, Carrot and Potato Tacos were very good to eat. I am sharing this recipe with Kahakai Kitchen. I hope she will accept this Mexican style sandwich.
