A tangy chimichurri sauce along with pinto beans and roasted potatoes. We really like this one. The chimichurri sauce really elevates plain old beans and potatoes, and as always the cojita cheese adds a nice saltiness.
Taste: ????This taco is very tasty and doesn’t get old as you go along. We’ve now made this twice and enjoyed it both times. |
Appearance: ???The bean mixture on a bed of spinach makes for a nice looking taco. It might benefit from a little color variety, but the recipe is really well thought out, so it made us not want to deviate. |
Cost: ????Very cheap ingredients assuming you have the oil and apple cider already. |
Difficulty: ????This one is very easy. Once you get the potatoes in the oven you have lots of time to make your sauce, and assembly is a snap. |
Verdict: Yes taco!!
