Last week, when I posted this easy 5 minute Chimichurri Sauce recipe, I mentioned some of the delicious dishes I added the sauce to, like Chimichurri Grilled Chicken Zoodle Bowls, Chimichurri Grilled Shrimp Skewers and Chimichurri Vegan Tacos.
Today, I’m so excited to share the recipe for Vegan Tacos, which I’ve been gobbling up with spoonfuls of chimichurri sauce on top!
How to make it
This recipe couldn’t be easier to make! Start by whipping up the chimichurri sauce, if you don’t already have some on hand. Next, add the veggies to a foil basket and place it on the grill over medium heat for 20 minutes, tossing 3-4 times throughout the grilling process.
Grill the tortillas for 30-60 seconds, then pile the grilled veggies and chimichurri sauce in the tortillas. You can then add toppings like fresh avocado or guacamole and diced tomatoes or pico de gallo.
What vegetables do you put in tacos?
For these vegan tacos, I put potatoes, bell peppers, onion, corn and jalapenos in the tacos. Other vegetables commonly found in vegetarian tacos are zucchini, mushrooms and cauliflower.
How do I make vegetarian tacos?
Vegetarian tacos are easy to make. Simply create the filling for the tacos, which can include beans, like black beans or chickpeas, vegetables, like those mentioned above, meat substitutes, like tofu or soyrizo, or fruit, like butternut squash, cactus or avocado.
Add your choice of vegetarian fillings to crispy taco shells or soft tortillas, with your choice of toppings like cheese or sour cream (if you’re not vegan) or other vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes and onion.
Are vegan tacos healthy?
This recipe for vegan tacos is low in fat and calories and high in vitamins, making it a healthy choice to add to a balanced diet.
How do you grill veggies?
When the veggies are diced small, like in this recipe, you’ll want to add them to a grill basket or foil basket, made with heavy-duty non-stick foil, so that they don’t fall through the grill grates.
Veggies should be grilled over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, depending on the type of vegetables. Potatoes will need to grill on the longer side to become fork tender before eating.
