Veggie Tacos (Brussels Sprouts with Peanut Sauce)

These veggie tacos are smokey, sweet, and topped with a delicious spicy peanut sauce for the win.

My brussel sprout taco recipe is a homemade spin from Bar Takito – one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago to get tacos. Bar Takito offers Nuevo Latino American Cuisine. One of the few vegan-friendly options offers a roasted brussel sprout taco that comes on a blue corn tortilla topped with aji peanut sauce, roasted peanuts, and microgreens. If you live in Chicago or visiting then I highly suggest stopping by.

How to make these veggie tacos

Start by preheating your oven to 350°. Rinse and pat your brussel sprouts dry with a towel or paper cloth. Trim the ends and half the brussel sprouts with a knife. Alternatively, you can use a food processor.

Following that, transfer the brussel sprouts to a bowl and add any oil of your choice, season with your DIY taco spice mix (or store-bought), and maple syrup for some additional sweetness (optional). Use a large spoon to mix the ingredients evenly. Transfer the sprouts to a lined baking sheet and roast for about 20-30 minutes. Next, heat your tortillas and add your brussel sprouts. Top them with spicy peanut sauce, tomatoes, and cilantro or cabbage. 

This roasted brussel sprout taco recipe is one of the easiest ways to enjoy veggies with a twist. Enjoy!

How to make a peanut sauce

To a blender add unsalted peanut butter* (chunky or smooth), tamari (or low sodium soy sauce), maple syrup, grapeseed oil, garlic, fresh ginger, jalapeño, hot sauce, water and blend until smooth. There are so many ways to enjoy peanut sauce. You can add this easy peanut sauce recipe to a stir fry, spring rolls, noodles, Vietnamese spring rolls, tofu, and pad thai just to name a few. 

*Feel free to use peanuts if you do not have peanut butter.

How to make a taco spice mix

In a small bowl, mix chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and black pepper. Store your new DIY taco spice mix in an airtight container.
