Instructions

Red Onions: Optional, but yum. Start on these first – see notes.
Chimichurri: Hit up the food processor or blender and pulse it all together until smooth. Like we do.
Brussels Sprouts: Saute the brussels sprouts and taco seasoning with a little olive oil and salt until softened and yummy.
Corn: Saute the corn and jalapeño with some salt, olive oil, and lime juice. Let the corn sit in the hot pan, undisturbed, for a few minutes to get that roasty, charred thing going on.
Tacos: Assemble and devour!

Notes

Shredding the brussels: You can buy them shredded (fast and easy) or you can shred/thinly slice them yourself with a mandoline (superior texture). I’ve done it both ways!

Leftovers: Each element will keep for a few days in the fridge, so you’re all set!

Pickled red onions: In a jar, combine half a thinly sliced red onion, 1/2 cup rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt and sugar. Add water to cover if needed. Set aside while you’re prepping and they’ll be good to go in about an hour. These will keep for a while, but I think they’re best within the first week.

Sauce Alternative: These would also be great with magic green sauce.

How to make this vegan: Skip the cotjia cheese.
