These easy tofu Tacos are here to liven up your Taco Tuesday. This is one of the meals that I put together in a jiffy one night and it was hit! It stuck around for future quick meals.

For the tofu seasoning, I use a combination of Mexican and Indian spices and also add some fenugreek and black pepper which makes the tofu taste just amazing. You can use this tofu in many ways, add to wraps, burrito or as a side or make a naan pizza with it.

Along with a mix of classic fajitas veggies, I went with another Mexican addition: homemade quick refried black beans, which are not only delicious but also add additional protein and fiber. I change these up with different beans or lentils. As well as change up the flavor with Cajun spices or curry powder.

They are a quick grab whatever flavors you like and put them together tacos! Try them!

These tofu tacos are lightly spicy, and packed with protein and fiber, and they are ready in less than 30 minutes. The tofu is pressed before we fry it and gets a wonderfully satisfying pleasing texture.

If you’re not huge on tacos, but like the sound of the filling, you can use the filling in all kinds of ways. Make a burrito or wrap, make tostadas, make a bowl with a side of cilantro lime rice or quinoa. Or make quesadillas!

Vegan quesatacos stuffed with flavorful cajun gochujang mushrooms and lots of melty, vegan cheese is a super quick lunch or dinner! The combination of textures and flavors is absolutely addictive.

This is quite a fusion taco filling! Most of the time these kind of recipes come about when I’m just cooking a quick meal for the evening, and I end up adding whatever I see in my spice pantry or in the fridge.

I literally open the fridge or the spice cabinet and use what looks good. So, I added some Tex-mex chili powder blend, cajun seasoning, and gochujang to these mushroom quesatacos, and it gave them this amazing flavor profile. 

This is a super quick recipe. You just add the onions, mushrooms, and all of the sauces and spices to the pan, and let them cook down until the mushrooms are cooked and everything starts to kind of caramelize.

Then you stuff that filling into tacos with a little bit of cheese that you grill the tacos like quesadillas in the same skillet with a little bit of of hot sauce on the outside, so that the tacos get this nice flavor. For making it a meal, add some lightly mashed black beans or pinto beans to the mix or serve with a side of spiced beans!

These Jackfruit Tacos are vegan taco perfection!  Jackfruit is perfect for recreating that chewy satisfying shredded meat texture. Coated in a flavorful marinade along with taco  meat spices, then baked in the oven until perfectly meaty it makes for the best vegan taco meat! Everyone will enjoy these, trust me.

Jackfruit can be a hit or miss for many. One reason is that people often get the sweet ripe Jackfruit and that obviously does not work in savory dishes. Get the young green jackfruit can in water or brine. Second reason is the aftertaste of brine in the jackfruit. For that we squeeze out all the brine and then use the jackfruit. I love the jackfruit texture when it’s baked. Baking also bakes out any remaining briny flavor. So try these jackfruit tacos with your favorite spice blends and let me know in the comments how it turned out!

As for the rest of the toppings, you can keep things super simple and just add shredded lettuce and some salsa, or take these to the next level with a generous drizzle of vegan queso or my potato carrot cheese sauce, or vegan mozzarella cream . 

These tacos are the perfect meal to serve for a casual dinner party amongst friends.  You can also make the taco meat part of your vegan meal prep routine.

Just double the recipe and use the taco meat as a topping for bowls, and salads, or as a filling for sandwiches, burritos, and wraps.

Coming at you with some prime vegan fusion food. Vegan Tikka Masala Birria Tacos. Mexican street food with an added Indian twist.

Traditional birria tacos consist of stewed meat wrapped in tortillas soaked and toasted in broth, served with a side of broth, also known as consomé, for dipping the tacos into. My vegan version uses a savory sauteed veggie filling with mushrooms, peppers and taco  spices.  Instead of the consome, we serve the tacos with a small dish of a quick “mix everything in bowl”, thin tikka masala sauce .

As with all genius kitchen creations, this dish was born out of a craving. The other day, I was seriously craving some vegan birria tacos but was out of chilies and time, so I fixed myself some fusion Tikka masala birria tacos!
