Recipes
There's something for everyone in this list of ten vegetarian taco recipes!
Vegan tofu tacos with cilantro sauce
In this recipe, humble tofu is marinated for maximum flavor, and then pan fried to crispy, golden perfection. Pair the tacos with a vibrant cilantro sauce that adds a zesty, spicy kick to every bite.
Butternut squash and black bean tacos
The sweet meets spicy meets earthy flavors in these butternut squash and black bean tacos are EVERYTHING. The butternut squash is sweet and squashy, but coated in spices. The mushrooms give that earthy flavor that make these tacos seem "meaty." The tomatillos give that tart, acidic flavor, and the black beans make these seem like true tacos rather than just veggies in a tortilla.
Ale marinated sweet potato tacos
There is so much flavor in the beer marinated sweet potato filling, that you can keep the toppings super simple. Some corn (charred if you like), onion, cilantro, avocado, and some hot sauce. Maybe a good squeeze of fresh lime. So good.
The pinto bean and pecan taco "meat" for these lettuce boats is super simple to whip together. Everything gets pulsed in a food processor and then heated up in a pan. Dinner is on the table in just 15 minutes!
These are quick, fuss-free, and best of all absolutely delicious. They are different than how fajitas are served at Mexican Restaurants, but so much easier. You won't miss the meat thanks to the "meaty" portobello mushrooms.
Simple and delicious, fresh corn and black bean tacos recipe! Topped with limy, smoky, sour cream sauce and all your favorite taco toppings. Ready in just 30 minutes!
