Barbecue Brussels Sprouts Tacos

These sweet & savory barbecue Brussels sprouts tacos are super easy to make… and it’s a completely plant-based meal!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chopped brussels sprouts
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • oil or oil spray, for roasting
  • 1/2 cup protein of choice, such as beans
  • Heaping 1 1/2 cups slaw
  • 6-inch tortillas of choice
  • 1/3 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 lime, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 420 F. Line a pan with parchment. Toss the sprouts and onion with oil or spray, and arrange in a single layer (important not to crowd them) on the parchment. Bake until browned – mine took 35 minutes. (Also cook your protein if using something that needs to be cooked.) Stir the roasted sprouts with the protein and barbecue sauce. I like to serve the filling in tortillas that have been warmed in the oven a few seconds. Arrange about 1/4 cup slaw on each tortilla, top with the barbecue mixture, and finish with a squeeze of lime if desired.

They also make a great savory breakfast – who doesn’t love breakfast tacos???

I opted to serve mine in whole-grain tortillas, warmed a few seconds in the oven. If you’re on a low-carb diet, feel free to use lettuce wraps instead or just eat the barbecue taco filling on its own. Serve with ranch dressing and extra limes if desired.  serves 6
