Brussels Sprout Tacos
If Taco Tuesday isn’t already in your weekly recipe lineup, it’s about to be! These vegetarian tacos can easily be made vegan by substituting Greek yogurt for vegan yogurt. Brussels sprouts are a hearty vegetable that gives these tacos a great nuttiness and crunch, and like many great California wines, several thousand acres of them are grown in California’s coastal counties including Santa Cruz and Monterey. We’ve paired these tacos with a California Zinfandel or a California Sauvignon Blanc.
