Taco Tuesday is the perfect excuse to eat tacos every week. But not everybody eats meat, which can limit taco options. Instead of opting to throw “vegan tacos near me” into your search browser or wondering if Taco Bell makes vegan tacos (which is totally doable with a couple of adjustments).
However, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t quite a few vegan recipes which can be made at home for Taco Tuesday.
They’ll will do well with the usual sides such as lime juice, sour cream, red onions, pico de Gallo, avocado crema, fresh cilantro, mango salsa, and any other favorite toppings.
Here are 15 delicious recipes for veggie tacos which can be used for busy weeknights or your next taco night:
