Mushroom, Corn and Poblano Tacos

My husband and I went to The Melting Pot last night to celebrate his good news.  He's been wanting to go FOREVER, and thanks to some wonderful friends who provided a gift card, we were finally able to.  I was a little hesitant about it, not that I don't love dipping a variety of tasty morsels into delicious hot grease, please, that's what dreams are made of!  But, since the holidays, I've been trying a lot harder to eat healthier, and cheese and chocolate fondue, unfortunately, do not fit into that category.

But, as the young kids are saying, YOLO!  This was, after all a celebration!  So I dunked, and dipped and laughed the night away with my husband, sans kids, an absolute treat that we do not get to enjoy often.

But now the cheese and chocolate high has worn of and I'm suffering from what can only be described as a Fondangover.  You pretty much treat it like a regular hangover, take Advil, no loud noises, lots of water and keep the lights down.  And now the only thing I'm craving are crispy, cool veggies that have not been swimming in a vat of oil and wine (not that there's anything wrong with that.)

These veggie tacos are just the ticket to feeling like myself again.  Meaty mushrooms and flavorful black beans, corn and poblano peppers, topped with a soft, salty queso fresco make for a mouthful of freshness and nutrition.  They are quick to make and delicious for any time of year, but especially for days when you may be waking up with shame from late night fondippery.
