Ingredients

  • 1 batch vegan taco meat
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • ¼ cup finely chopped onions
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 small avocado
  • 1 batch cashew cream (optional)
  • 6 corn tortillas (soft or crispy)

Instructions

  • Prepare the taco meat according to the instructions. It's a fairly easy recipe and should take around 15 minutes. You can always make it a day ahead too.
  • Prepare any ingredients, like shredding the lettuce, peeling and chopping the avocados, making the cashew cream, etc.
  • To prepare tacos, simply add some taco meat to the bottom of each taco, followed by shredded lettuce, chopped onions, salsa, and avocado slices. Drizzle with cashew cream (and hot sauce if that's your jam). You can serve it as a taco bar by having ingredients in bowls.

Notes

If you want to add vegan cheese to your tacos, Daiya has a Mexican blend, or you can top with vegan cheddar shreds.
Note: The nutritional information does not include the optional cashew cream.
