Fajita Tacos with Cashew Cheese Sauce
Tacos are a favorite in my household. Growing up, corn tortillas were a staple in our kitchen and still is today. The great thing about corn tortillas is that they typically contain 2 ingredients…corn and water. Hence they’re vegan!
I can’t express how tasty the mixture of bell peppers, onions and eggplant is! There is something so delicious and satisfying about sautéing this combo together. You can pretty much throw any cooked veggies into corn tortillas and drizzle over the cashew cheese sauce and you have yourself a delicious taco.
Let’s talk about the cheese sauce.
My friends request this cashew cheese sauce every time we have a girls night! No mater what we are making for dinner… my infamous cashew cheese sauce is some how incorporated! So yes! Try this sauce not only on your tacos, but with chips or poured over pasta!

- Place the vegetables in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until soft. Throughout the cooking process, if vegetables begin to stick, add 1-2 table spoons of water at a time. In the last 2 minutes of cooking add salt, pepper and garlic powder.
- Meanwhile, in a large pot bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add potatoes and carrots to the pot and let cook for 15 minutes or until tender.
