This month’s Recipe Redux challenge is Taco Tuesday!
February 21 is a Tuesday. So show us your healthy, creative take on the taco.
Who doesn’t love tacos!? Actually me… haha. I’m definitely into Mexican/Tex-Mex but I prefer enchiladas or a taco salad. However I know everyone else loves tacos and the blog lacks a taco recipe so I decided to get creative and make a vegan taco! So I started thinking of ideas and obviously beans came to mind first since they are both vegan and Mexican but I wanted to take it up a notch and make it a little more meaty tasting… enter sunflower seeds! The seeds add a bit of a crunch and more texture to make these super delicious and nutritious. Beans and sunflower seeds are the perfect satisfying “meat” for Taco Tuesday with your vegan friends.
