You don't have to give up tacos when you go vegan! Just leave off the meat and cheese, I swear they can still be f#@*ing delicious.
Torillas or taco shells are commonly made without animal product! Yay! So the filler ingredients for your tacos are super simple. This recipe will provide a few meals. I highly suggest using your left over taco filling warmed over a bed of lettuce with your toppings for a very satisfying lunch.
Vegan Tacos:
Ingredients:
taco shells
1 can of beans (your choice of kidney, black, or pinto)
1/2 cup of your favorite salsa
handful of spinach
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional if you like the spice!)
Toppings:
guacamole or avocado (to balance the spice and replace the cheese)
shredded lettuce
extra salsa
Tofutti sour cream (optional if you don't like avocado or aren't worried about the extra calories)
Directions:
- Warm a frying pan over medium heat and preheat oven to cook your taco shells according to the package.
- Drain the can of beans and pour into pan with salsa.
- Cook stirring occasionally for about 3 minutes to cook the beans.
- Throw in your spinach (it doesn't add too much taste, but adds some superfood nutrients!!) and add the spices.
- Lower the burner to low-medium heat and cover to wilt the spinach, stirring occasionally. (Now is normally a good time to throw the taco shells in the oven, but double check against the package!)
- Once the spinach is wilted, serve your filling in the taco shell and top with your choice of ingredients from the topping list!
I'm getting hungry for these just writing about them. Yum tacos! I hope you all enjoy this recipe and feel free to comment with any tweaks you made to the recipe to personalize it or if you have any questions.
Thanks for reading!
