What Makes a Good Vegetarian Taco Recipe

If you are used to enjoying tacos with meat as the star of the dish, you might be wondering how to make a delicious taco vegetarian. There are so many ways you can make delicious vegetarian tacos. Here are all the elements you need in a vegetarian taco.

1. Texture: You want your taco to have a nice bite to it so think about the texture. Does the taco need a crunchy element, a creamy element, or a main texture?
2. Seasoning: What makes meat tacos delicious is more the seasoning than the meat. Vegetarian tacos are the same. Make sure to up your seasoning to add flavor to the tacos.
3. Sauce: The easiest way to bring in flavor and creaminess is a sauce. This could be an avocado sauce, a chipotle crema, or even salsa. The sauce is what brings the whole taco together.

Tips to make the best tacos

• Use warmed tortillas. Whether you are making tacos with corn tortillas or flour tortillas, warming them up before enjoying them brings the tacos up a notch. To do this you can heat the tortillas on a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat for a little bit on each side. You could even warm them in the microwave for a few seconds.
• Serve with pico de gallo. Serving your tacos with some dip or salsa adds some heat and flavor to your tacos.
• Add in some plant-based proteins. You can make vegan taco meat with tofu or lentils. You could even add in some beans or cream sauce. Adding in some protein sources will help make your vegetable tacos more of a hearty and healthy meal.
• Know your spice level. When looking at taco recipes they can vary widely in the spice level of the tacos. If the recipe is calling for jalapeño pepper, chili powder, or cayenne pepper, make sure to adjust accordingly. Add more or less to meet your desired flavors.
