If you've been looking for the ultimate meaty vegan tacos, these beefy vegan tacos are it! They are filling and packed with flavor while simultaneously ticking your 5 A Day boxes. Add any extra veggies you wish and we dare you to try and eat just two. Hint: Not easy!

1teaspoondried oregano
5dropsTabasco, optional
Taco toppings (Optional)
lettuce or cabbage, shredded
onion, finely diced
jalapeΓ±o, finely diced
tomatoes, diced
avocado, sliced
vegan cheddar cheese, shredded
salsa
Instructions
Over medium heat, add vegan beefy crumbles, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, basil, garlic powder, oregano, and Tabasco (optional). If the mixture appears very thick and dry, add a splash of water.
Cook covered for 5 minutes. Then uncover and allow to simmer until moist but not liquidy.
Heat soft tortillas or taco shells, assemble the vegan tacos with your favorite fixings, and enjoy!
This version is for the die-hard meat lovers out there. Just a few months ago, that was me. So if you’re someone who can do without all the veggies and tofu, and want the base of your taco to be a hearty, flavorful beefy crumbleβI hear you.
These are the ultimate comfort tacosΒ and are a great staple for family dinners. You can whip up a big batch of this flavorful vegan beef in no time and have it on hand for all your taco needs throughout the week (if you don’t demolish it all on the first night, that is).
Tacos or Burritos?
This filling is so crazy good, you could easily use it for so many other preparations! This meaty and tasty filling would be perfect burrito base, right? Add some remain, rice, and guacamole and you have yourself a fully loaded burrito. But what’s the advantage of turning this recipe into a burrito? Well, it makes them a lot more transportable if you’re someone who’s constantly on the go or if you’d like to organize a vegan Mexican picnic.
Another advantage of burritos is that you can pack way more veggies in it, which is always a good idea when it comes to those picky little ones. Try it! You can even try to make your own homemade tortillas at home!

Taco perfection!! Such a great weeknight dinner for the family. I also love this with crumbled tofu instead of vegan beef crumble π
These tacos are so easy to make and so delicious! The seasoning works great with tofu, too.
