White Bean and Spinach Tacos are a healthy, vegetarian option for meatless Monday or hot summer days when you don’t want to turn on an oven.

Pizza and Beer and Bundt Cakes, Oh my! Another holiday weekend has come and gone along with another overindulging binge on my part. Today is a new day to choose healthier options and I’m starting off with these white bean and spinach tacos. Sure it’s Tuesday, but since it’s the first day of the workweek we’ll just pretend that the Meatless Monday rules still apply.

The heat broke a bit yesterday, and I’m hoping we’ll continue to get some relief this week so I can get in some good runs without feeling like I’m going to die. Back on the fitness wagon too!

Healthy Vegetarian Tacos

White-bean-spinach-taco-recipe-ingredientsI’m pleased to present one of the only things that grew in my garden this year, a jalapeño! Paired with a couple of beautiful heirloom tomatoes from the farmers market, this little baby made an awesome topping for these white bean and spinach tacos.

I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend and ate till your hearts content. If you didn’t well then you’re a better person than I am. I applaud your willpower. Stay tuned for more healthy, detox friendly recipes from me in the coming weeks. The Hubs will be traveling a lot which means saladpalooza over here! Yay leafy greens!
