22 Vegetarian & Vegan Taco Recipes for Taco Tuesday

Introduction

Are you trying to find a dish that would work for everyone in your family and/or friend group(s)? With my family, some foods don’t settle well with their stomachs, and a few are into plain and bland food to the point that it’s hard to accommodate everyone, even with my parents and siblings all being non-vegan. A perfect solution is to make a few different taco recipes that range from ingredients and mildness.

Please like and follow the food bloggers below for more cooking inspiration. Here are 22 vegan taco recipes for Taco Tuesday, including but not limited to the following.

Cauliflower Taco Bowls
Crunchwrap Supreme
Taco Pasta
Lentil Taco Soup
Coconut Lime Cauliflower Tacos

When it comes to vegan substitutes, cauliflower is a great veggie alternative to use, like having cauliflower wings over chicken wings. Try this cauliflower taco bowl recipe from This Savory Vegan.

When I say mole, I’m not referring to an animal, a spy, or something you find on your skin, but rather, it’s a well-known Mexican sauce. Try some fig mole mushroom tacos from Dora’s Table to expand what you see as Mexican cuisine.
