Oil: Any neutral-flavored cooking oil will work right here. Avocado oil is my go-to selection.
Onions and garlic: These alliums add scrumptious taste to the vegan taco meat. (When you’d favor, contemporary garlic might be changed with ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder. Add it with the opposite seasonings.)
Vegan hen: Tofurky plant-based calmly seasoned chick’n works nicely right here and makes use of the entire 8-ounce bundle. You may normally discover it within the refrigerated part at Walmart for about $3.48. (It’s additionally nice in vegan hen noodle soup!)
As an alternative of Tofurky, you need to use any refrigerated non-breaded vegan hen or chicken-style seitan that you simply take pleasure in.
Spices & seasonings: Cumin, ancho chili powder, paprika, granulated onion, and salt give these tacos their signature flavors.
Ancho chili powder is created from one ingredient – ancho chilies. It’s not scorching however very flavorful. It may be changed with normal chili powder, which is a mix of spices. However remember that chili powder blends range by warmth depth (relying on the quantity of cayenne they embody).
Granulated onion has a extra strong taste than powder, however might be changed with onion powder for those who’d favor.
Tortillas: I like to recommend small, smooth flour tortillas, however corn tortillas may even work. You should definitely heat them in a dry skillet or microwave earlier than utilizing. If utilizing crunchy taco shells, heat within the oven or air fryer.
Vegetable toppings: Lettuce, tomatoes, and cilantro add freshness. Pickled pink onions and pickled jalapenos are additionally terrific right here!
Vegan cheese: You’ll get that traditional taco expertise with non-dairy cheese shreds. I particularly just like the dairy free Mexican-style shreds from Dealer Joe’s. Any cheddar-style shreds additionally work.
When you favor to go cheeseless, guacamole, avocado, or vegan bitter cream are good choices for including fats & taste.
