Check out these 20 gourmet Mexican recipes that are guaranteed to please your tastebuds and take you past the taco.

Stuffed Peppers With Quinoa and Black Beans

Totally vegetarian and full of delicious flavor, these stuffed peppers are far from the meat and cheese versions you’re probably used to. (via Love and Lentils)

We’d like to pour that chipotle avocado crema all over everything, not just that delicious-looking grilled tilapia. (via Love Grows Wild)

Portobello and Poblano Enchiladas

While enchiladas have always been delicious filled with shredded chicken or other meats, we’re pretty pumped to try out this mushroom and pepper version. (via Blissful Basil)

Calabacitas (Mexican Style Zucchini)

We know this may not qualify as a whole dinner, but it’d make a perfect, simple side dish. (via Fit, Fun + Delish)
