Today I made TACOS!!!!
Taco's are one of my favorite foods to eat so I decided to make them the vegan way because surprisingly I hadn't tried to make it yet.
As always I stopped by whole foods to look at what my vegan options were. What I really like about the way that I cook now is that I notice I've been adding a lot of veggies to everything that I make to make it more filling which is AWESOME!
I tried a meatless ground before but it was Yves brand. Today I tried Lightlife smart ground original.
I also tried Daiya vegan cheese and Tofutti non-dairy sour cream.
I chopped up some veggies for the "ground beef" including garlic, onion, and green bell pepper for flavor. I also defrosted about a cup of frozen corn to add to the mixture.
I sauteed the onion and bell pepper until they were soft, added the garlic, meatless ground and corn until it was all warmed through.
Then I added the taco seasoning and 2/3 cup of water (as per the instructions on the packet) and simmered the mixture until the seasoning was thoroughly mixed and the water was gone.
I chopped up some tomatoes and shredded lettuce for toppings. I also lightly toasted some corn tortillas in the oven.
These were pretty damn good!! Lol!!

YUM! I think that the veg. ground round really takes up the flavor of taco seasoning well.. it's my favorite way to use it b/c you can't tell the difference between it and real meat... as opposed to some other ways you can use it where you can tell..
ReplyDeleteI don't know if that made any sense. I need sleep.
DEFINITELY agree with you on that one!! I tried it in spaghetti sauce and it didn't mask the taste as well
