World Cuisine Recipe ‹ Veggie Tacos

A hearty taco that contains no meat. If you want to really keep it vegan, go with a soy cheese for topping.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 ½ pounds cremini mushrooms, coarsely chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
• 2 green onions, sliced thinly
• ¼ cup water
• 6 (8 inch) whole wheat tortillas

Cooking Directions

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and red bell peppers; saute until mushrooms are soft and meaty, about 20 minutes. Add pinto beans, taco seasoning mix, green onions, and water. Stir well; continue to cook until all liquid is evaporated, about 5 minutes more.
2. Divide mushroom filling evenly between tortillas. Add your favorite taco toppings.
