Veggie Breakfast Tacos

The first 2 trimesters of my pregnancy were spent in Colorful Colorado where we had plenty of garden greens and fruit, as well as fresh farm eggs and produce from our local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture).  I love veggies and I especially love fresh veggies grown locally, which is important for maintaining a healthy plant-based diet.  Not only was I on a veggie kick but I was also on an “I want Mexican food everyday and jalapenos with everything” kind of kick.  Must of been something to do with being pregnant with Aquababy.  So every morning I made some variation of these veggie breakfast tacos.
