Avocado and Goat Cheese Tacos

These tacos are so delicious, and creamy and dreamy and gluten free! To make this recipe the best it can be, be sure to find really good tortillas and use fresh beets. A dry store bought corn tortilla isn’t going to cut it! I buy mine at the Mexican market or my favorite Mexican restaurant still warm in the bag.
