It’s Cinco de Mayo People, Whoop Whoop! I literally salivate over taco commercials and be all like “I need that in my life”. Ha! But seriously, who doesn’t love a good taco every once in a while. I thought to myself “Bye Bye Tacos Forever” when I became a plant-based mommy. The more I learned though, the more I realized no food was gone forever except the crap food. (Adios)
Before I started to cook healthy I was very unaware of what foods were out there. I had no idea about the endless possibilities that are in front of our faces everyday to eat better quality foods. It just never dawned on me that there were better options. I guess I can thank Nugs for that. He was the eye opener for me.
Anywho, so I frequent Trader Joe’s a lot. I mean a lot. (LOL) I’ve made many friends there. I always pick up their 3 grain tempeh and decided to make taco “meat” out of it. You have to prep tempeh right or else it will have a bitter aftertaste to it. In the beginning of my new life path I was nervous trying new things in fear it wouldn’t agree with me. I then thought how ridiculous because nothing could be more worse than what I came from eating. Right?! On the package of organic Tempeh it lets you know that the dark spots don’t mean spoilage. It’s just a natural occurrence in this fermented food so if you’re buying it for the first time don’t be alarmed. You can bake it, use it in a stir fry, throw it on salads and even use it in sandwiches.
Since making this way back when, it has become a weekly must have here with my family. My hubs even knows how to whip this up. This usually takes place on Tuesdays. Coincidence (because Taco Tuesday but today we’ll make an exception)? I think not! LOL Lets get on with the Tacos, shall we?
