Servings 10 street tacos

Ingredients
  

  • 1 drizzle EVOO
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 1 TBSP tomato paste
  • 2 TBSP water, might need more if your plant-based substitute dries out
  • 1 lb plant-based protein, I used Meatless Farm Plant Based Ground
  • 2 TBSP southwest seasoning, see recipe below
  • salt, for seasoning

Avocado Cream

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 lime, zest and juiced
  • 1 TBSP sour cream
  • salt and pepper, for seasoning

For Finishing

  • 8-10 soft flour street tortillas
  • ½ cup Mexican cheese blend
  • cilantro
  • pico de gallo

Instructions
 

  • In a nonstick pan, warm a drizzle of EVOO on low heat. Once the pan is warmed, add the onions and saute with a bit of salt. Once translucent, add tomato paste and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add water to the onions and tomato paste and stir together.
  • Add the plant-based protein and the southwest seasoning. Break up the plant-based protein and cook until it is warmed completely or the taco protein is looking tasty 😋. Set aside and keep warm.

Finishing the Tacos

  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place 6 (for two) or 10-12 (for a family of 4) tortillas on the parchment paper. Add cheese to each tortilla.
  • Fold the tortillas and bake until crispy and the cheese is melted.
  • Finish with the avocado cream, cilantro and pico de gallo and enjoy, cheers!
