1

Prep your veggies

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). While the oven is heating up, prepare your vegetables. Chop 1 red bell pepper, 1 yellow bell pepper, 1 green bell pepper, and 1 medium-sized red onion into bite-sized pieces. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

2

Season and roast

Drizzle the vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle them with 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss everything together until the veggies are evenly coated with the spices. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes or until the veggies are tender and slightly charred.

3

Prepare the protein

While the veggies are roasting, cook 1 cup of your favorite vegan ground meat substitute according to the package instructions. You can use tofu crumbles, tempeh, or any other vegan option you prefer. Season the protein with 1 teaspoon of taco seasoning for an extra burst of flavor.

4

Assemble the taco bowls

Now it's time to bring everything together! In 4 separate bowls, divide 2 cups of cooked quinoa or rice as the base. Top each bowl with a generous portion of the roasted vegetables and the prepared vegan protein. Add a handful of fresh greens, such as chopped lettuce or baby spinach, for some added freshness.

5

Get saucy

No taco bowl is complete without a delicious sauce! Mix together 1/4 cup of vegan mayo, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of maple syrup, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle the sauce over the taco bowls or serve it on the side for dipping.

6

Garnish and enjoy

Finish off your Vegan Taco bowls with a twist by adding your favorite garnishes. Sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, and a squeeze of lime juice all work great! Serve the taco bowls immediately and enjoy!
