So I've been without meat for a little over a week I guess and I really haven't had any cravings except for tacos. Any easy (not so great in the kitchen

) and tasty ways to get my taco fix?

<3 black bean and corn with chili powder. throw in some lettuce tomato and avocado. not hard to make and delicious

or even soy crumbles (provided you can eat soy). with or without beans, it's really up to the person.

I'm a HUGE fan of tacos made with Morningstar Farms griller crumbles. My Mom and boyfriend love them too! I use hard taco shells, lettuce, crumbles, peach mango salsa, and a little Sriracha.

You can find them in the freezer section:

Lentils make a great base for tacos. Add in onions, peppers, spices...all the normal taco seasonings.

I just make my old taco recipe but use black beans instead of meat. Other variations: rice and beans. I use grilled tempeh for "fish" tacos (not my idea, I got it from Native Foods restaurant).

Tacos are my favorite food, I wouldn't last as a veg*n if I couldn't find a way to make them veggie.

I just had tacos yesterday! Nothing fancy, but soo delicious. I used soy crumbles and just cooked them up with taco seasoning like you would with beef, then put it in a taco shell with cheese and salsa and any veggies you like. Delicious! If you do this with soy crumbles though I recommend you measure out a small amount because the packages are too big for one packet of seasoning to flavor properly.

OMG. Now all I can think of is tacos.

Tacos & burritos are my favorite.

I love making tacos/burritos with beans, onion & capsicum. Even got my omni mum & step dad loving that mix instead of beef or chicken

I've seen around here a few people that said they made their tacos with beans for beef and I'm thinking I'm just going to have to try them a whole bunch of ways. lol For once I'm actually excited about cooking.

That does it. I'm having a taco night this weekend.

I've made this several times and it's really, really good! I basically used it in place of beef and put it in hard shell tacos. Yum! And I think it's a really easy recipe, perfect for someone that is new to cooking.

I just use a pound of firm tofu from Trader Joe's and the regular store-bought Taco Kit. Firm tofu, when torn apart by hand, crumbles to the same shape as ground meat and has only a slightly softer consistency than meat so you'll barely notice the difference!

In fact, I fed house guests tofu tacos and they didn't even know it was a meat-free dish until afterwards!

Tacos.

No Trader Joe's here. lol But I'm pretty sure I can find some tofu somewhere.

Definitely want to experiment with it.
