Millet Tacos: Two Ways

DIRECTIONS:

In a small bowl, combine the millet, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.

Make one (or both) of the Flavor Options (See Below).

To assemble, warm the tortillas on a baking sheet in a 350°F oven or in a dry skillet on the stovetop over medium heat.

Place the warm tortillas on a platter or on individual plates. Divide the millet among the tortillas.

Top each with either a Butternut Squash and Swiss Chard or Portobello Mushroom and Red Pepper mixture.

Top with the cabbage, avo­cado slices, scallions, and salt and pepper to taste.

Finish with a dollop of the Cumin Cashew Cream Sauce.

And/or a drizzle of the Seriously Sensational Sriracha Sauce, if desired.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND SWISS CHARD

2 tablespoons coconut oil, 4 cups peeled, seeded, and diced butternut squash (1⁄4-inch cubes), ½ bunch Swiss chard, finely chopped, ½ teaspoon chili powder, ¼ teaspoon sea salt, ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the squash and sauté for 7 to 8 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and cook until the chard has wilted, about 2 minutes. Keep warm.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM AND RED PEPPER

2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 1 large portobello mushroom, cut into 8 slices, 1 large red bell pepper, cut into long strips, ¼ teaspoon ground cumin, ¼ teaspoon sea salt, ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, Pinch chipotle powder, ¼ cup thinly sliced radish, for garnish

In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms in a single layer. Cover and cook for 4 minutes, then flip and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the remaining ingredients, cook for 5 minutes or until vegetables are cooked through, stirring often. Garnish with the radish. Keep warm.
