This Jamaican Jerk Meatball Rice Bowl is a virtual flavor trip to the islands.
So while it’s winter-thyme here in Georgia, which inevitably cultivates a desire to travel to warmer destinations, we’re going to enjoy this treat for the senses.

The key to bringing big flavor to these Southwest Vegetarian Tacos is to oven roast the veggies.
Virtually any vegetables will work in these tacos, but I love sweet potato, onion and zucchini as my base – I added corn and jalapeño to give it a nice Southwest flavor flare.
