Enchiladas. Mole. Flautas. We’ll chow down on some good Mexican food whenever we get the chance, but sometimes we want something just a little lighter. One of our faves? Tacos. Here’s a fresh vegetarian take on the tried and true classic. Bonus: this dish only takes about 10 minutes to prepare, so if you’re famished after a workout it’s just the ticket.

• ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 whole carrot, shredded
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
