A Symphony of Flavors

- Black Beans: For a hearty protein boost.
- Pickled Red Onions: A burst of tangy goodness.
- Lively Cilantro Chimichurri: The star of the show, bringing all the flavors together with its fresh, herby notes.
- Cotija Cheese: For that salty, cheesy finish (optional).
Building Your Perfect Taco
- Prep the sprouts: Shred them finely and sauté until tender and flavorful.
- Roast the corn: Mix with jalapeños and roast for a slightly charred taste.
- Whip up the chimichurri: Combine cilantro, parsley, water, olive oil, cashews (or sunflower seeds), garlic, salt, and lime juice in a blender until smooth.
- Assemble: Warm your tortillas, layer with the Brussels sprouts, corn mix, black beans, pickled onions, chimichurri, and cheese (if desired).
