"This is a recipe which I have adapted from the Australian Women's Weekly Vegetarian cookbook. Not only is it quick and easy, but it tastes great, and is good for you. It's also a handy dish for those who can't eat meat or dairy, and by using wheat-free tortillas you can keep your gluten-intolerant friends happy too."

I loved this recipe and even my other half - who doesn't like beans - enjoyed it!! I have now made this several times and it is always a hit with whoever tries it.

This was great. My whole family enjoyed it. Only substitution I made was to use jalepeno instead of the chili. I also put alfalfa sprouts on the tacos because I think alfalfa and avocado go so well together. This is a keeper!

Very yummy! The avocado salsa is what sends this over the top, imparting layers of flavor with each mouthful. I did sub jalapenos for the red chili, and black beans for the kidney beans. Plus, leftovers were delicious as a dip scooped onto tortilla chips. Thanks for this great recipe!

My daughter made these loosely following the recipe. We all loved it and will make again!
