Description
A quick and healthy vegan taco recipe featuring walnut or tofu fillings, topped with fresh ingredients for a satisfying weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- Vegan walnut taco meat or tofu taco meat
- 12 small soft corn tortillas
- 1 large avocado
- 1/2 cup unsweetened plain vegan yogurt
- 1 large clove garlic
- 1 medium jalapeño, seeded and roughly chopped (optional)
- 1/4 cup roughly chopped cilantro (or parsley, optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (plus more to taste)
- Olive oil (or water, for blending)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: If using walnut meat, pulse the walnuts with garlic and seasonings until crumbly but not pureed. For tofu, crumble it into a skillet with olive oil and sauté with similar seasonings until golden.
- Cook: If using walnuts, cook on medium heat for about 5-7 minutes to brown slightly. For tofu, ensure it’s heated through.
- Warm tortillas: Heat the corn tortillas gently in another skillet until they’re soft and pliable.
- Assemble tacos: Fill each tortilla with the walnut or tofu mixture, then add sliced avocado, a dollop of vegan yogurt, jalapeño, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
- Serve: Enjoy your tacos fresh, with extra lime on the side.
Notes
Ensure ingredients, especially the avocado, are fresh for the best flavor. Adjust spice levels to taste when adding jalapeño.
