Cumin Lime Cream
Stir together all the ingredients in a small mixing bowl – or right in the yogurt container – until fully incorporated. Cover and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Roasted Broccoli and Peppers
Preheat the oven to 425°.
Slice the broccoli and stalks into very thin slices, about ¼” wide and 1½” long.
In a mixing bowl, add the broccoli, peppers and onions. Toss with the olive oil and salt until fully coated. Transfer to a roasting pan and roast for 15-20 minutes until the broccoli edges are brown and the peppers are tender with a knife.
While the broccoli and peppers roast, wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and place on the lower rack in oven. Make the pinto mash.
When the broccoli and peppers are done, remove from the oven, stir in the lime zest and juice, and keep covered until ready to serve.
Pinto Mash
Place all the ingredients in a medium pot. Stir together. Heat through on medium heat, about 6-8 minutes. Using a fork, gently mash the beans until broken. Turn heat to low and keep warm until ready to eat.
To assemble the tacos, set out the roasting pan of broccoli and peppers along with the tortillas, pinto mash and cumin lime cream on a large cutting board to create a taco bar. Add in small bowls of other favorite toppings, like shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, roasted red peppers or fresh cilantro.
To build the tacos, schmear a heaping tablespoon of pinto mash on a tortilla and top with a few pieces of broccoli and peppers. Scatter in other toppings as desired. Finish with a dollop of the lime cream. Fold and enjoy!
