Baby Beet & Goat Cheese Tacos with Orange Lime Crema

Baby Beet & Goat Cheese Tacos with Orange Lime Crema | A Salad For All Seasons

Are you ready to switch things up?

You won’t regret it.  Sometimes you just have to try something new.  I love traditional Mexican tacos.  And I love making fish tacos with some crunchy slaw.  Today, I’m going all veggie on you.  But trust me when I tell you these beet and goat cheese tacos are something special.

You can vary these vegetable tacos in a million ways. Here I’ve used slices of steamed baby beets, grated sweet carrots, sharp and crunchy radish circles, my very addictive pretty pickled onions, tangy goat cheese and sprigs of thyme all topped with an orange and lime crème fraiche sauce and nestled inside some savory corn tortillas.

Amazing flavor in every bite!

Get your veggies together.  And then lay it all out, fold it all up, and chow it all down.

Top it with lots of crema or just a dab.  Include what you like, omit what you don’t.  Add protein, greens or fruit.  It’s all up to you.

    Beautiful tacos! The beets look gorgeous with those pickled onions. I think goat cheese makes everything better!

    How creative! I don’t think I could ever come up with that on my own. But if I saw it on a restaurant menu, I’d order it! Can I come over?!?

    I totally love the combo of beets and goat cheese! So nice. Make salads with this pair all the time. But tacos? Haven’t even thought of it! Love the idea, though — going to have to do this. Thanks!

    I think you just won the prize for the most creative vegetarian taco EVER! Even though I’m not a big fan of beets, it looks to me like the citrus and the goat cheese could change that. I have had a feta and beet salad that I actually liked and this looks much better than the salad. Great taco!

    What a wonderful recipe to use for all my garden fresh veggies! I didn’t grow beets this year though, but I am planning on going to the farmers market tomorrow.So, beets are officially on the shopping list!
    The orange lime crema is perfect to take these over the top!
