Frittata Soft Tacos
Think of these as Italian-style tacos: eggy herbed frittatas wrapped in soft corn tortillas and topped with your favourite taco toppings. This is a great way to mix protein with a variety of veggies.
1 Tbsp (15 mL) butter
1/4 red onion, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
1 cup (250 mL) chopped broccoli
8 large free-range eggs
1/2 cup (125 mL) grated cheddar
1/2 tsp (2 mL) each dried basil, dried oregano, and sea salt
8 small organic corn or whole wheat tortillas
1 avocado, sliced
1/2 cup (125 mL) salsa
1 to 2 cups (250 to 500 mL) shredded spinach
Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C).
Melt butter in large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, red pepper, broccoli, and 1 Tbsp (15 mL) water. Stir often until broccoli starts to soften, 2 to 4 minutes.
In bowl, whisk eggs with cheese, dried herbs, and salt. Stir in vegetable mixture.
Line 8 in (20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper or brush with oil. Pour in egg mixture and stir to distribute veggies evenly. Place on baking sheet and bake until top is golden and centre is set, 20 to 25 minutes.
Cut into thick strips and place in centre of tortillas. Top with strips of avocado, dollops of salsa, and shredded spinach. Roll up, fold over, or eat open-faced.
Make ahead tip: Cool frittata completely, then cut into thick strips. Wrap portions individually and freeze. Defrost in refrigerator overnight. Prepare taco toppings and refrigerate overnight. Warm tortillas with egg in the oven, then dress with toppings.

Broth and Wine-Braised Cannellini Beans
Braising these hearty beans not only changes their texture but leaves them creamy and satisfying. Using a savoury broth with saffron for braising provides the traditional Spanish flavour, similar to a paella. This dish is served as a shared side, but it could also be served with rice and vegetables as a delicious stand-alone dinner or as a satisfying nourish bowl. Swap your spirits Try substituting vermouth for white wine in this recipe, if you have some on hand. It’s a great alternative to wine and will last much longer in your cupboard. An added perk? You can save that nice wine for sipping.
Baked Prawns
With Spain’s expansive coastlines and multiple islands, seafood is a staple of the cuisine. This quick and easy prawn dish will add a pop of protein and a wonderful smokiness to your tapas-style lineup. Sustainable seafood When choosing prawns (or any seafood), opt for sustainable varieties that recognize and even reward sustainable fishing practices. As an important protein in many cultures, seafood, caught sustainably, helps contribute to healthy oceans < and > healthy communities.
Lentil Shepherd’s Pie
This vegan take on classic shepherd’s pie is jam-packed with bold and rich flavours that will ensure no one will miss the meat. While a great source of fibre, lentils also contain the highest amount of folate out of all plant-based foods. Oven ready If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, you’ll need to transfer cooked lentil filling to a baking dish before topping with mashed sweet potatoes and baking.
Roasted Cauliflower with Pecan Date Crumble
Cauliflower has been having a moment lately, and this salad proves exactly why. Tender caramelized cauliflower is crowned in a glorious sweet and savoury crumble that will ensure it a place on your table all month long. Of all tree nuts, pecans have the highest concentration of flavonoids, which offer beneficial anti-inflammatory effects, and they also protect your cells from oxidative damage. Crumble perfection This crumble topping is too good not to use it on other preparations. Sprinkle over a carrot ribbon salad to add some extra pizzazz, use as a glorious garnish on a soup or stew, or consider generously spooning over your next vegetable “steak” to add some delicious textural variation.
