GRILLED SQUASH VEGETARIAN TACOS ARE FULL OF FLAVORS INCLUDING CHILIS AND HOMEMADE ADOBO SAUCE
Grilled Squash Vegetarian Tacos is part of the way La Victoria Brand is celebrating it’s 100 year anniversary and they are inviting you to come celebrate with them on the west coast. Los Angeles’s event is on June 1. There will be two more locations coming soon.
Each dinner will showcase and celebrate the flavors of a different local chef, recipe (specific to west coast), music, and artwork.
In recognition of La Victoria’s Brand 100 years, I am recreating the dinner Chef Christine F. Rivera made in San Diego on May 11. These Grilled Squash Vegetarian Tacos have all the flavor and texture of the southwest, including being Vegetarian.

Candi, these tacos look so delicious! I never would have thought to fill tacos with grilled squash, but it totally works!
Yum, I love vegetarian recipes! I rarely roast my squash but that sounds like an amazing idea! :]
