Loco las Tacos

It’s always a great time for tacos. They are so versatile too, you can put just about anything in there (as long as it’s Vegan 😉). These ones have gardein beefless ground, homemade coleslaw (recipe posted below), diced tomatoes, avocado, Tofutti sour cream & Sriracha. Also, I’d just like to take a second to say that Tofutti products are the best. I’ve tried the sour cream and the cream cheese in plain and French onion; so good!!

For the coleslaw, I shredded;

• ¼ of a red cabbage
• 2 large carrots
• 1 Granny Smith apple
• 1 medium sized beet

The cabbage and carrots can be shredded using a food processor; however, I would manually shred both the apple and the beet.

After these items were shredded, I put everything in a bowl and tossed the coleslaw with;

• ¼ of apple cider vinegar. 
• 2 TBSP olive or avocado oil 
• 2 minced garlic cloves 
• Juice of half a lime 
• 1 tsp of dried cilantro 
• Dash of salt & pepper 

If you feel like you need to add more liquid, either add a bit more apple cider vinegar or freshly squeezed lime. Completely your preference depending on what you prefer.

Store the coleslaw in a sealed Tupperware container until ready to serve with the tacos. FYI - this will make a lot of coleslaw. I like to have coleslaw in my fridge as an easy pre-made item; however if you want to make less just divide all the ingredients in half. It can be kept in the fridge for approximately 3 days in a sealed container. 

For the gardein beefless ground, measure out the # of servings you would like to make and cook in a frying pan. The below instructions are for one serving. To cook for more people just multiply each ingredient by the # of persons you are cooking for.

• ¾ cup of gardein beefless ground
• 2 TBSP diced white onion
• 2 tsp’s of avocado or olive oil. I prefer to cook with avocado oil.
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• ½ tsp taco or chili seasoning
• 1/4 of a cup of veggie broth.

Heat the frying pan with the oil and add onions and minced garlic. Sauté onions and garlic for about 1 – 2 minutes and then add beefless ground, seasonings and veggie broth. Let simmer until liquid has evaporated and beefless ground round is cooked. By cooked, I mean not frozen and at an ideal temperature to enjoy in a taco.

For the tortillas, it was a while ago that I made these tacos, but I think I used Ezekiel sprouted grain tortillas. But you can use whichever ones you’d like.

While you are letting the taco mixture simmer, you can prep the avocado and tomato by dicing it into small – medium sized pieces.

Once everything is done, start piling all the items on your soft or hard taco and top with Sriracha and Vegan sour cream.

Enjoy your loco las tacos!
