Vegetarian Tacos even meat-eaters will love!

Gracias, Uly. =) I hope you're having a good weekend!
mmmmm
Vegetarian Tacos even meat-eaters will love! by Ephemeron.
Ingredients:
2 cans reduced sodium garbanzo beans
1 packet Taco Seasoning (any brand)*
shredded lettuce
stone-ground corn tortillas, lard-free flour tortillas, or hard taco shells
diced tomatoes
avocado
shredded cheese*
sour cream*
any other items you like on your taco

Directions: Combine garbanzo beans with taco mix. For juicier filling, use all liquid from garbanzo beans. For less juicy filling, use liquid from only one can. Simmer over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Lightly mash the garbanzo beans with a fork or bean masher. This not only keeps them from rolling out of your taco shells, but gives them a ground beef-like texture. Heat the tortillas under a broiler or in a non-stick skillet. Spread some of the bean mixture on the tortilla, then top with the other ingredients. Enjoy!

* To make this a vegan dish, make sure the taco seasoning does not include whey or milk solids, and substitute vegan cheese, such as Vegan Gourmet: www.followyourheart.com/cheese.php and sour cream, such as Tofutti's Sour Supreme: www.tofutti.com/soursupreme.0.asp

Adapted from the Garbanzo Tacos recipe found here: vegweb.com/index.php?topic=5911.0

This looks great, and a nice change from TVP taco filling.

Thanks, Harriet. :) TVP definitely has its place, but I think the garbanzos work better with this recipe.

Mmm! Beautiful picture and great recipe. Too bad there aren't any stores here that sell vegan sour cream or soy cheese. But I think i'll give it a try with pico de gallo and guac. instead.

You're welcome! I'm going to have to try this recipe, maybe even as a taco salad without the tortilla (watching my carb intake, ya know), cause I love love love all that stuff. And you made it look so pretty!

Ephemeron  Pro User  says:

I'm sure that would be awesome! I've actually been thinking of doing that as well. Do you ever buy those whole wheat low carb tortillas? I haven't had them in years, but I remember them being really good.
Posted 13 months ago. ( permalink )

view profile

lady_elsinore  Pro User  says:

Yeah they aren't bad, though they're higher in carbs than you might expect, even for low carb. When I'm down around my target weight, I can eat stuff like that without issues, though, and even regular carb stuff on occasion. I prefer whole wheat anything over white or corn in general, though. MMmm whole grain!
