Anyways, did you know that the hard-shell tacos aren’t originally from Mexico but the US? But the Spanish word “taco” was invented by Mexicans.

Which ones do you like more, soft-shell or hard-shell tacos?

The recipe was born when I wanted to try out the new vegan minced meat. If you can find “Peas of Heaven” vegan minced meat in the store I definitely suggest you to try it. It’s made of pea protein and is super similar to meat.

You can also replace it with black beans, lentils, or meat.
