Ingredients
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
- 1 head of garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cooked protein (chicken, beef, or beans)
- 1/2 cup fresh herbs (cilantro, parsley, or basil) chopped
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 avocado sliced

Instructions
- Roast the Garlic: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap in foil. Roast for 30-35 minutes until soft and caramelized.
- Prepare the Tortillas: While the garlic is roasting, warm the tortillas in a skillet over medium heat until pliable.

- Assemble the Tacos: Spread the roasted garlic mixture onto each tortilla, then top with diced tomatoes and avocado slices.
- Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
