4 servings eaten over 1 dinner

Eating more vegetarian dinners is a great way to save money, and this meal shows you that you can have delicious tacos without the meat! Latin spices (that can also be used in a lot of other types of cuisines) perfectly complement the sweetness of these veggies. We round out this meal with protein and fiber packed garbanzo beans (because beans are a great part of any budget diet!).
