I love tacos de papa in many variations! If you’re from Southern California, tacos become the “catch-all” meal that you grow accustomed to turning to. At my place we do many different variations of tacos de papa, mostly out of necessity- roasted potatoes, smashed potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, potatoes with zucchini, caramelized beets and potatoes, roasted potatoes and cauliflower, and sometimes even the traditional fried version. The possibilities are pretty much endless.

Whenever I encourage my clients to eat more plant based foods, the most popular response is, “but what about the protein?” That’s where awesomely magical ingredients like chia seeds come in handy. Nature’s miraculous formula of essential fatty acids, protein, and fiber give chia seeds the unique ability to act like a binder similar to an egg, helping to hold these burgers together, while also provide a complete protein, in addition to the protein found in the beans and the zucchini. When a plant provides a complete protein, it means it delivers all the essential amino acids that your body can’t produce and therefore need to be consumed in meals. So, whip up a batch of these babies and take them on your next summer picnic!
