There’s just something about that crunchy mix of onions, peppers and beans surrounded by crispy tacos, topped off with a sweet mango and avocado sauce. They’re really, really gooood! 😛 It’s one of those recipes that we highly recommend you learn and commit to your repertoire. Once you know this veggie taco recipe, you can pull it out of a hat any time you need (and then you can master some more vegetarian taco recipes!). There are sooooo many reasons to do so.
Vegetarian Tacos – why they rock
Perfect family food – it’s very easy to make big batches (and you can even freeze the main part for a later date, you’ll just need to make the dressing and heat up tacos) If you don’t have tacos or forget to buy some then you can still eat the rest of it with an alternative like rice, potatoes, wraps or sweet potatoes. Budget friendly – the main components of vegetarian tacos are cheap staples and you can make large amounts for low costs (btw, if cheap eats is what you fancy check out these easy vegetarian meals for students!) Avocados – the healthy fats in these bad boys are off the charts – get some down you! Mangos – who really needs an excuse to eat mangos? Not only do they taste great, they’re one of your much needed fruits/veggies each day. Bean, beans beans. Vegetarians in particular should be looking to eat a decent amount of beans and legumes often – they’re high in protein and plenty of important nutrients!If you need a (free) high-protein meal plan, come over here. Originally tacos (or even veggie tacos) meant the main meal, but over time tacos have come to mean these hard shells (as in the pictures).
If you did indeed forget to buy tacos but really fancy them and have wraps to hand, you’re in luck. You can make your own tacos by taking a wrap and hanging it over the wire in your oven (see pic). This will crisp up and harden and become a ‘taco’. Perfect. To do that, just heat up the oven to 180°C/360°F and let the wraps hang in there for a maximum of 5 minutes. As mentioned already – even if you don’t have the tacos, the filling is so good you’ll just want to eat it with something else instead! Rice or potatoes are awesome and super-satisfying too. What’s not to like? 🙂
