Vegan Ground Meat
The main ingredient in this dish is the vegan ground meat. If you have not tried vegan ground meat before I highly suggest trying this recipe! Vegan ground meat simply requires heating so it’s quicker than regular meat. Below you will find a list with links to vegan ground meat options.
How to make the base of these Vegan Taco Lettuce Wraps
- Sauté onion with olive oil then add bell pepper and mushrooms. Feel free to swap these vegetables with ones you have or would prefer.
- Once vegetables have soften, add vegan ground meat and taco seasoning. Use store bought taco seasoning or make your own!
Putting it all together
- Add about 1/4 cup of the cooked taco meat onto a large romaine lettuce or butter lettuce. Add more or less depending on the size of the lettuce leaf.
- Top with tomatoes, and then add your favourite toppings. Mine include guacamole (or mashed avocado), salsa, cilantro and vegan sour cream. Drizzle with lime juice for some added zest!
Meal Prep
- This recipe makes approximately 3 servings so you can have leftovers for lunch or dinner. Store the cooked taco meat in the fridge and then reheat and top over lettuce.
Other base options
- Butter lettuce or romaine lettuce (what I used in this recipe)
- Regular soft or crunchy tortilla
- On a bed of chopped lettuce (Taco salad – less messy than lettuce wraps!)
