PLANT-BASED TACO RECIPE

These plant-based tacos are not only delicious, but are also extremely nutritious. In this recipe, we used HerbYvore Plant Protein Block to replace the meat in the tacos. For toppings, just prep some freshly chopped tomatoes, a scoop of guacamole and some freshly grated cheese (can omit this or use vegan cheeses if you prefer a vegan version). Our recipe works with both soft and hard tacos. Gather your people and follow the directions below to indulge in some protein goodness together!
