Easy Vegan Tacos


Tacos are one of those things almost no one makes from scratch anyway, right? So when I buy vegan taco filler pre-flavored to taste like tacos, I'm not really cheating... am I? Anyway, these are the world's easiest thing to make - they literally took me about 5 minutes. And they're deliciously yummy, too. A one-pound package of taco filler will make somewhere between 8 and 10 tacos, depending on how much you over-stuff them. This recipe's a bit hard to write down because everyone likes different things in their tacos... but here's what I used.

1 lb. package of vegan taco filler (TVP, textured vegetable protein, found near the tofu in your normal grocery store) (Or you can use non-flavored TVP "meat" and flavor it yourself)
1 tomato, diced
a bit of shredded lettuce
shredded vegan cheddar, cheezy sauce, or (yikes, this is really what I used) vegan nacho cheese from a jar
guacamole (optional)
Salsa (optional)
8-10 taco tortillas or hard shells

1. Heat the taco filler.
2. Heat up your taco shells (for tortillas, be sure to wrap in foil before placing in oven)
3. Heat up cheezy sauce or nacho cheese if using
4. make your tacos the way you like, and enjoy!
