If you are looking for something delicious, quick and healthy then this easy vegan taco recipe is made for you!
Don’t let the word “vegan” scare you! Even if you are a meat lover, I can say you’ll still love those vegan tacos. I have living proof!
Do you even know anyone who doesn’t love tacos? I don’t, and if there even is someone I bet it’s only like 2-3 people.
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?
As the main ingredient in tacos is meat, I bet you’re still wondering how to make vegan tacos so that they’d taste delicious?
Let me tell you, the secret is spices!
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.
