20 Minutes or Less Meal Series, Superfood Tacos

| 20 Minute Meal Series, Plant-Based Tacos | episode 1

Who doesn't love a 20 minute meal?! Especially one that packs protein, fiber, micronutrients, and FLAVOUR! These delicious tacos are served up on a lightly warmed corn tortilla and topped with fresh avo, some plain coconut yogurt for probiotics, and sprouts to really ramp up the micronutrients, or superfoods ;)

I've linked all the specific products I've used below but because you might be on the other side of the world to me some of these exact options may not be available where you are. So incase you can't grab the seitan chicken I did, you could swap the protein for any of these options:

200g extra firm tofu, crumbled

200g tempeh, crumbled

1-2 veggie sausages, chopped well 

150-200g beefless grounds (Trader Joes has a great one!)

200g seitan in whatever flavour you can get!

 

To note: some of my measurements for the above protein swaps may be slightly off depending on the brand. So here's the exact macro breakdown for the seitan chicken I've used:

200 cals - 9g fat - 8g carbs - 24g protein

 

Recipe makes one serving but can easily be doubled or tripled for meal prep!

Macros per serving (using the ingredients linked below):

483 cals - 23g fat - 40g carbs - 29g protein 

 

Ingredients:

1/2 package seitan chicken

1/2 tbsp avocado oil, or preferred cooking oil 

5 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half 

1 tbsp taco seasoning, I made my own but you can also use a pre-made one

2 corn tortillas 

2 tbsp thick coconut yogurt (for healthy sour cream alternative)

1/3 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup fresh sprouts 

 

Recipe:

Open your pack of seitan chicken and break it into small chunks (smaller the better for speed with cooking!)

Warm a non-stick pan to medium high heat and add oil, coating the bottom.

Add in seitan chicken, tomatoes, and taco seasoning. Mix well.

Place a lid over the pan and reduce heat to medium.

Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes, remove lid and toss, making sure nothings sticking.

Cook another 2-3 minutes with the lid off.

To warm the corn tortillas either heat them in the microwave for 30 seconds or simply add the to the hot pan over the protein for the last minute of cooking. If adding them to the pan you will need to place the lid back on for the minute.

Place corn tortillas on a plate, scoop the protein onto the center of each.

Top with avocado, yogurt, and sprouts. 

Enjoy!!!
