The Gorilla's Taco

Talk about a yummy, very nutrient filled lunch/snack/dinner!  I love these Gorilla tacos!  One of my favorite greens to eat is Collard Greens.  I love how sturdy they are - almost a leathery feel.  Makes me think how nutrient dense they are.  I mean look at 'em... aren't they great?!

And I really love their taste.  I put them in my morning green smoothie, chop them up and add them to a lot of my green salads, and now make tacos and wraps out of them!  They make a perfect tortilla because of how solid and sturdy they are.

You can totally substitute the quinoa out for rice or millet if you'd like - but my favorite as of late is Red Quinoa - with all it's nutrients and yumminess.  I love the way red quinoa looks after it's cooked.

Filling and delicious.
