Ok, so Bryan, my boyfriend, doesn't know how to cook a whole lot. He grew up on mac n cheese, grilled meats and what I have labeled "white american food." Basically, everything that American's have been taught are good for them that really aren't, like white bread and cheese from cows. So most of the time he feels lost when he sees the ingredients in the fridge. However, there's one classic from his childhood that he's successfully veganized so far, and it's mighty tastey. Its a recreation of his mom's ground beef taco salad. Super simple, super yummy! Hope you enjoy!
Bryan's Taco Salad:
1 package garden veggie tempeh, sliced into thin 1x2 pieces
1 package Vegan Gourmet Cheddar Cheese (optional, I know it's kinda pricey, but if you feel like indulging I'd add it!)
1 head romaine lettuce, torn into bite sized shreds
1/2 red onion diced
1pinch cayenne
1/2 tsp chili pepper powder
1 Tbl Ortega taco seasoning
2-3 cloves garlic
1/2 bag mission corn tortilla chips, crumbled into bite size pieces
1 Tbl corn oil
Salsa to taste
1. In a medium sized sauce pan heat the oil. Once hot, add the tempeh and fry on both sides briefly. Turn down heat to low, add spices and garlic until well combined. Turn off heat.
2. In a large serving bowl, combine Romaine, chips, onion, tempeh and cheese until well combined. Serve with a topping of salsa!
