Happy Cinco de Mayo! It is May 5th, right? We had to double check, since we haven’t seen the sun in over a week and we’re still wearing coats over here! So instead of frozen margaritas by the pool, it feels more like hot toddies by the fire place…

But we’re not gonna let Mother Nature (literally) rain on our parade. We’ve got tacos over here. Bright, colorful, finger licking, vegan gluten free chickpea tacos to brighten our day. Loaded with cilantro and warming spices, creamy avocado, sweet corn and juicy tomatoes. All wrapped in a corn tortilla and topped with a garlicky coconut milk yogurt cilantro sauce. Add a couple (or ten) of squirts of sriracha or green dragon hot sauce to make it even better and done. You got all you need to kick the May winter blues to the curb, where they belong.
