Easy Vegan Tacos


Super tasty, low-fat, easy vegan tacos that take 5 minutes to make – these are epic and a real crowd-pleaser! They might take you 10–15 minutes as there were two of us when we filmed the video, but either way, they are quick, tasty, and incredibly delicious as well as healthy!

Takes 5 minutes

Serves 2

Ingredients
 

  • 300 g whole-wheat tortillas (sliced into small 8–9cm circles)
  • 150 g oyster mushrooms
  • 1 tin of black beans
  • 10 cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tamari (or soy sauce)
  • 3 scallions (green onions)
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 lime
  • 200 ml natural soy yoghurt
  • 15 g fresh coriander (cilantro)
  • 1 red onion
  • 50 ml white rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1.5 tsp ground cumin
  • Chilli flakes (to serve)

Instructions
 

  • First, let’s pickle the onions. This will bring out the bright pink colour, soften the raw onion taste, and add a nice acidity to the tacos. Peel and slice the red onion into long, thin slices. In a glass, add the sliced onion along with the vinegar, and fill the remaining space with water so that the onions are submerged. Leave to pickle.
  • Finely dice the coriander, including the stalks. Slice the scallions, quarter the cherry tomatoes, and finely slice the mushrooms into small bite-sized pieces. Drain and rinse the black beans.
  • Mix the soy yoghurt with half the diced coriander and the juice of 1/2 lime. Mix well – this will function as a healthier sour cream.
  • Heat a non-stick wide-bottomed pan on high heat. Add the scallions, black beans, cherry tomatoes, and a pinch of salt, and fry.
  • Slice the garlic finely and add it to the pan. Fry for 2–3 minutes, stirring regularly.
  • Add the spices and tamari, mix well, then turn off the heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
  • To plate up, use a muffin tray to hold the tacos while you fill them. Add a tablespoon of the yoghurt coriander mix, followed by a generous spoonful of the mushroom black bean mix.
  • Top with some pickled red onion and chopped coriander. Enjoy!

Notes

Beat the Bloat: Replace the garlic and onion with the green part of a leek.

If you dont like mushrooms you could replace with some finely sliced tofu, the reason you slice it finely is to ensure that it also cooks quickly

    Really nice! The recipe omitted the details of when to add the mushrooms but I added them at the same stage as the beans and tomatoes. Tasted amazing!

    Love these.
    But you do realise that you don’t say when to add the mushrooms, right?

    Loved this recipe! I was a bit skeptical about making vegan tacos in just 5 minutes, but it was surprisingly easy and delicious. I added some avocado salsa and it took it to a whole new level. Definitely going to be making this again!
