It’s Taco Time!

By now, I’m sure you’re well aware that those of us here in peta2 love to eat. A few of us got together to have Taco Night recently, and I thought I’d let you guys in on the deliciousness.

For a Taco Night of your own, you’ll need:

  • Taco shells (we used both hard and soft)
  • Vegetarian refried beans
  • Burger crumble (we used Boca)
  • Taco seasoning
  • Spanish or Mexican rice
  • Olive oil
  • Jalapenos
  • Tomatoes
  • Vegan chicken strips (we used Morningstar Farms)
  • Vegan cheese (we used Follow Your Heart)
  • Lettuce
  • Guacamole
  • Salsa
  • Chopped black olives

Prepare all ingredients and put on the table in separate dishes. You’ll need to heat the fake meat on the stove with the olive oil and taco seasoning, and cook the rice according to directions. And you’ll definitely need to warm up the beans. Shan and Rachel were lovely enough to show all the ingredients you’ll need:


Now of course Taco Night wouldn’t be complete without friends—so make sure you have some of those on hand, too. At this point, everyone can assemble the tacos to their heart’s content, and devour them with glee, as pictured below:


Me, Sarah, and Ashleigh, stuffing our faces


Rachel and Shan, also stuffing their faces


Let me tell you, dinner was delicious! I highly recommend having a night like this with your friends. It’s a great way to show your non-veg friends how fun, easy, and delicious vegan food can be.

Have any of you had an all-vegan dinner like this before?

Marta

PS – We also played Guitar Hero and Shan kicked everyone’s butt!

    YUM! My friends and I do Taco Tuesdays sometimes and I plan on making this tomorrow…I use the Morningstar Crumbles (I think they taste better than Boca’s)
    I eat burritos all the time. I get the Veggie Boy Burrito (no cheese/sour cream) here in Eugene, Oregon! Vegan and YUMMY!

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
