Servings 6 tacos
Ingredients
veggie ground round for tacos
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ½ C finely chopped onion
- 1 C finely chopped mushrooms (optional)
- 1 package meatless ground round (used Yves in the video)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 garlic clove, minced
cilantro cream sauce
- ½ C vegan mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoon lime juice
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ C tightly packed, chopped cilantro
- sea salt & ground black pepper, to taste
fresh tomato salsa
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 ½ tablespoon finely chopped red onion
- ½ lime, juiced
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
- sea salt & ground black pepper, to taste
simple guacamole
- 1 avocado
- ½ lime, juiced
- sea salt & ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- To make the meatless ground round, heat a large pan over medium and add vegetable oil, onion, and mushrooms and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until soft.
- After onion and mushrooms have cooked for a couple of minutes, add meatless ground round, cumin, and chili powder and stir to combine. Sauté for another 5 to 7 minutes to allow the ground round to get heated through and brown up a bit.
- Add minced garlic with 1 to 2 minutes left in the cooking time. Mushrooms should be softened and ground round lightly browned.
- To make the fresh tomato salsa, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve tacos.
- To make the simple guacamole, scoop out avocado flesh into a bowl. Add lime juice and mash with a fork until smooth. Add sea salt and ground black pepper to taste.
- Of course, guacamole can be made however you want. You could also make my super guacamole recipe with added protein from corn and black beans. But in a pinch, you really only need 2 things: avocado and lime juice.
