Ingredients
- 1 lb vegan bacon any good one will do, it's all over the internet these days
- a few heirloom tomatoes from the garden (mixed colors are pretty here)
- ¼ small red onion slivers
- 2 tbsp cilantro chopped
- 1-2 limes cut into wedges
- kosher salt to taste
- ¼ cup your favorite picante salsa
- 8 (6-inch) corn or flour tortillas
- baby lettuce or Romaine lettuce leaves torn into bite-size pieces
- 1 avocado sliced
Plant-based meats have come a long way in a short time. Chef Makini Howell from Plum Bistro shows you what you can do with vegan "bacon" and fresh tomatoes.
Directions
- Cook bacon according to package directions. Cooking vegan bacon may vary from brand to brand depending on the one you choose. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let cool.
- While bacon is cooking, slice tomatoes and chop cilantro.
- Lay a clean kitchen towel in a medium bowl. Heat a skillet and lightly char tortillas, 30 seconds to 1 minute per side. Transfer warmed tortillas to a towel-lined bowl, and cover with towel to keep warm while you finish remaining tortillas.
- Make tacos up or serve, letting people make their own tacos by layering bacon, salsa, lettuce, onion and avocado, on tortillas. Top with your favorite vinaigrette, if desired.
