Ready for a fiesta? Here’s the English version for a super simple taco night.

Vegetarian Tacos

This recipe is all about bringing the fun and flavour of a classic taco night to your table, with a super-simple vegetarian twist. Using ready-made meat-free mince and a packet of seasoning makes this one of the quickest and easiest ways to satisfy a craving for Mexican-inspired food. It’s the perfect setup for a casual weeknight dinner or a fun “build-your-own” meal with family and friends.

The real joy of tacos lies in the toppings, so feel free to get creative! While this recipe keeps it classic with lettuce, onion, and tomato, why not set up a taco bar with bowls of other delicious additions? Think creamy guacamole, a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, grated cheddar cheese, spicy jalapeños, fresh coriander, or a tangy salsa.

If you want to move beyond store-bought mince, you could create a filling with black beans mashed with cumin and lime juice, or even use roasted, spiced vegetables like sweet potato or cauliflower. And don’t forget the final squeeze of fresh lime juice over the top – it brightens all the flavours and makes everything taste even better.

Ingredients

  • Chopped Roma tomatoes
  • Chopped white onion
  • Shredded Romaine lettuce
  • White corn taco shells
  • 1 packet of meat-free mince
  • 1 packet of spicy taco seasoning
  • Water (as per seasoning packet instructions)

Method

  1. This recipe makes enough for about 10-12 tacos.
  2. The meat-free mince will come with its own cooking instructions. Follow those steps first, using a non-stick frying pan to cook the mince.
  3. Stir in the taco seasoning and the amount of water specified on the seasoning packet’s instructions. Simmer until the sauce has thickened.
  4. Warm your taco shells according to the package directions.
  5. Fill the shells with a layer of the seasoned mince, then top with the chopped onions, lettuce, and tomatoes. Serve immediately.
