Vegan Tacos
Vegan doesn’t have to mean boring! There are so many fantastic plant-based meals out there to enjoy, whether you’re having a meat-free-Monday, or a total lifestyle change. Give these tacos a try, they’re part of a delicious and healthy Tex-Mex meal that the whole family will love.
Taco Ingredients:
- 1 butternut pumpkin or two large sweet potatoes
- 1 tin of organic black beans
- 1 red onion diced
- 2 cloves of garlic
- ¼ cup of water
- 1 tbsp of olive or avocado oil
- 2 tbsp of taco seasoning
- Bunch of coriander (chopped)
- 3 avocados chopped into 1cm chunks
- 3 cups of baby spinach, rocket, or your favourite shredded lettuce.
- 3 limes cut into wedges
- Organic corn tortillas
- Optional: Vegan Mexican or Feta Cheese, pumpkin seeds,
- Optional: Sliced jalapenos or chipotle sauce.
Method:
- Peel and cut your pumpkin or sweet potatoes into 2cm square chunks and roast in a 180 C oven for around 25 minutes, or until they have cooked through and begun to caramelize.
- Heat your oil in a large fry pan and saute the onion over medium heat until it is translucent. Add in your garlic and stir for a couple of minutes.
- Add in 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning (if you don’t have time to make our GF seasoning, you can use a sachet of a store bought organic alternative) and stir for a minute.
- Add the ¼ cup of water and the black beans to the frypan and stir until the beans are warmed through and the water has reduced to about a tablespoon.
- Add your pumpkin/sweet potato to the pan and stir.
- Serve the veggie/bean mix with wedges of lime, a bowl of baby or chopped lettuce leaves, coriander, chopped avocado, vegan cheese or pumpkin seeds, chilli of your choice, and organic corn tortillas.
- Our pineapple salsa and watermelon salad are also great accompaniments.
