Stealing a Fork From the Road

I had a vision in my head this evening of what I wanted dinner to look like.  It was going to be colorful, full of fresh produce from today's farmer's market, and would taste amazing.  Fortunately, I managed to accomplish all three goals, with validation from Bryony who nearly cleaned her plate.  Tonight's dish was an inspiration borrowed from one of my favorite local eateries, Fork In The Road.  They make these veggie tacos that are absolutely dee-lish-us, complete with fresh cilantro, scoops of lime pulp, sauteed onions and peppers, and then a fried egg on top for good measure.  Mine were similar, except I decided to smother a layer of refried beans on the grilled flour tortilla before layering shredded cheese, fried egg, sauteed onions, peppers, and patty pan squash, chopped tomatilla and tomato on top with a generous spritz of lime juice for added zing.  It's good to see my kid eating fresh, local, healthy "growing food."  Even better to know she's enjoying it.
