Simple, healthy organic vegan plant-based tacos
This recipe is a must-have addition for anyone short of time and craving something quick, easy and deliciously wholesome for dinner (or lunch) (or breakfast)! Without fail ~ every time I look at this pic I crave a fix of this organic vegan plant-based taco goodness. Plus the filling ingredients work well with substitutions which makes it work well with whatever’s in the fridge at the time (just don’t skip out the tamari, coconut oil & seed/nut mix)! Enjoy cooking this one up but trust me when I say it’s easy to get hooked!
- 10-15 leaves Crunchy lettuce (E.g. Romaine, or Iceberg)
- 400 gms Lentils (rinsed & dried)
- 200 gms Tofu (roughly cubed)
- 1 large Red onion (peeled & roughly chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (roughly chopped)
- 2 tsp Spices (E.g. paprika, pepper)
- 1 cup mixed seeds/nuts (roughly chopped)
- 3-4 tsp Coconut oil
- 1 tbsp Tamari sauce
- 1 large lemon (sliced to serve)
- Prep lettuce leaves (tacos) by breaking off into individual leaves, rinsing and setting aside to drip dry in a strainer.
- Turn stove onto medium heat and heat 1-2 tsp of coconut oil. Once hot, saute garlic and onion in the pan (few minutes only).
- Add lentils and spices to the pan (plus anything else you fancy ~ E.g. spring onion, carrot.). Cook for 5mins or so, stirring occasionally. Once onion has softened, remove mixture from heat and set aside in a serving bowl.
- Return pan to heat and add 1-2 tsp of coconut oil. Once the oil has melted add tofu and cook till golden (1-2 mins). Once golden, 'scramble' the tofu by squashing into the pan with a wooden spoon or fork. Removing mixture into a separate serving bowl once done.
- Return pan to heat and set temp. to low. Add 1 tsp of coconut oil followed by the seeds/nuts mix. Allow mixture to toast for a few minutes before adding the tamari sauce. Stir for a minute or so longer and remove mixture and place into a separate serving bowl.
- Assemble tacos & eat!
