Instructions
To Make The Vegan Mayo Sauce
Whisk together vegan mayo, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, salt, and ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder in a bowl, and set aside.
To Make The Hearts Of Palm
In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter. Add garlic powder, white wine or lemon juice (careful with splashing oil), and onion powder. Whisk together until fragrant, 1 minute.
Add in hearts of palm, season with the salt and pepper and sprinkle the dill on top.
Stir-fry hearts of palm for 2 minutes, until evenly coated with sauce and spices.
Arrange in a single layer and turn up the heat to medium.
Flip hearts of palm every minute until each side starts to char slightly.
To Assemble The Tacos
Warm up tortillas in 10-second increments in the microwave, over a skillet, or an open flame on your stove, whatever your preference is.
Assemble tacos by adding hearts of palm, cabbage, a drizzle of the mayo sauce, and a slice of avocado on top. For added heat, a vinegary hot sauce works best.
Notes
Store-bought corn tortillas work perfectly well here, but making your own corn tortillas from scratch is fun and tasty. Check out our homemade corn tortilla recipe to learn how!
