Traditional Mexican Taco Recipe

Authentic Mexican Taco Recipe

Many restaurants serve Tacos. Americans and others around the world love the flavors and crunch. However, most don’t use an authentic Mexican taco recipe. In fact, some American made tacos hardly resemble the traditional Mexican variety.

However, we’d like to introduce you to our authentic Mexican taco recipe. Even better, ours contain healthy vegan ingredients. Keep the basic ingredients handy for a quick lunch or dinner.

Although most of us consider tacos to be the hard, crunchy shell, you might try the soft taco, too. Although it lacks the crunch, it does create fewer crumbs than it’s often preferred hard taco shell.

Ingredients

• Beans, pinto or black
• Vegan meat replacement (choose from our recipes or a favorite brand such as Gardein)
• Shredded lettuce
