Vegan Mexican Taco’s with a Spicy Chipotle Sauce

Vegan Mexican Taco's

I love Mexican food: tacos, burritos, nachos, guacamole, salsa etc. I think it’s the delicious combination of flavours and textures. The meals always feel so comforting, hearty and satisfying. Needless to say I haven’t indulged in the traditional cooked versions of these meals in quite some time… but I enjoy using common cooked dishes as inspiration for creating raw meals, and decided to try and make some vegan Mexican tacos.

I used romaine leaves in place of taco shells because I wanted to keep things simple. They are so fresh and crunchy and always make a good base for your other desired ingredients. This high fibre lettuce is a great source of vitamin A and C and folate, and also carotenoids, anthocyanins and phenolics. Next I use cauliflower which I pulse until it resembles a rice-like texture. Then comes the simple salsa and the deliciously creamy and spicy chipotle sauce. I use chipotle powder in this sauce which is simply a dried, smoke jalapeno pepper. It has a delicious, rich, spicy flavour. Jalapeno’s have a unique compound in them called capsaicin which has been shown to have strong anti-cancer properties.

You are left with a brightly coloured, nutritious meal that is both fun and delicious for everyone to eat. These vegan Mexican tacos make a great dish to eat for lunch or dinner.
