Healthy Vegan Tacos With Salsa Verde

Recently I made delicious healthy vegan Tacos with Salsa Verde. It´s a recipe from my blog. I really love the Mexican cuisine! You can also put this filling in a Burrito or Enchilada. It´s a great combo. Actually, it´s the first time that my self-made Mexican food is completely vegan. You can easily replace cheese and Sour cream with vegan options. But I didn´t use them in this recipe. I personally think you don´t need it because this Salsa Verde tastes heavenly and it´s definitely enough with the spicy filling. For the filling, I´ve used tofu as a minced meat replacement. You just have to crumble it with a fork. It´s so easy to make and I highly recommend it! You can also use a ready-made minced meat replacement from the supermarket.

Salsa Verde:

• 5 Tomatillos
• 1 – 2 Green Jalapenos
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 1 tsp Coriander
• 1 Onion

Filling:

• 1/2 block Tofu

• 2 Red Jalapenos
• 1 Onion

• 4 – 5 tbsp Chipotle

1. Remove stems from tomatillos and cut them into halves. Peel onion and garlic cloves.
2. Heat olive oil in a pan. Roast Jalapenos, 2 garlic cloves, and onion for about 10 minutes => This step is also for the filling (I only mentioned the ingredients for the Salsa Verde here).
3. Grind some sea salt with 1 garlic clove and some of the jalapeno together in a mortar.
4. Now put all the ingredients in the food processor, add some salt and coriander. Mix it all together.
