Roasted Veggie Tacos with Avocado Cream

We've made these many, many times, and they are scrumdidliumptious. We could eat a ridiculous amount of them, but thankfully you don't need to feel guilty about it, like you would a cheesy, meaty taco.  These are also really quick and easy to whip up.

And they are generally filled with a mashed potato mixture, that you can really put whatever your heart desires. You can also make dessert pierogi's, which I fully intend on doing, as we have a plethora of dough left over. Savory Pierogies Dough: 3 cups flour 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 c Plain Greek Yogurt (or sour cream, but I love the tanginess of the yogurt) 1 egg 3/4 c water Mix the flour and salt in a bowl. In a separ...
