OK, guys—are you ready for something new? All month, we’ve been blogging delish taco recipes like Whitney’s Vegan Chicken Fajita Tacos, Cody’s Black Bean Tacos, and Annie’s Vegan Tacos al Pastor, but this week I’m gonna shake things up a bit and get creative with Vietnamese-inspired tacos!
If you have never had Vietnamese food, well … what are you thinking?! It usually includes fresh herbs, veggies, and spices, and tofu is a staple. Here’s my take on Vietnamese tofu tacos:
Vietnamese-Inspired Tacos
1/2 lb. (or 1/2 block) super-firm tofu, drained (Try this one from Trader Joe’s—it will change your life!)
1 Tbsp. soy sauce or tamari
Your favorite spices, to taste (optional)
4 corn or flour tortillas
1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
1/2 jalapeño, sliced
1/2 cup grated carrots
Sriracha, to taste
Makes 4 tacos
Yum! Seriously—this is so simple, so delish, and so good for you! Going vegan is so great because you end up trying new foods, learning how to cook, wowing your friends and fam, and feeling guilt-free after dinner. 
Try it out, and let me know what you think!

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 love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
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.
