Equipment

  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 sharp knife
  • 1 chopping board
  • 1 spoon

Ingredients

  • 2 heads Romain lettuce
  • 6 oz vegan ground beef crumbles
  • 5 oz vegan tortilla chips or more if you like
  • 1 can kidney beans
  • 2 cups canned or frozen corn
  • 3/4 cup vegan sour cream
  • 3/4 cup salsa
  • 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 2 green onions
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños optional. Skip for kids!
  • 1 cup shredded vegan cheese
  • 1/2 cup guacamole

Instructions

  • Roughly chop the lettuce. Cut the cherry tomatoes into halves and the green onions into rings. 
  • In a large pan, cook the vegan ground beef crumbles according to the instructions on the package. 
  • Crush some of the tortilla chips with your hands. Place all ingredients in a large bowl, toss, and serve. 

Notes

  • I usually use a store-bought salsa for this recipe to make things easier. If you like you could season it with paprika, onion powder, and cumin. Or also add a bit of hot sauce for a spicier version. 
  • Leave out the pickled jalapeños if you're serving this vegan taco salad for kids. Just add them to your own bowl later on. I can't get enough of them! 
  • For an even healthier version with lower calories, you can replace the vegan sour cream with vegan yogurt. Make sure to use an unsweetened plant-based yogurt, preferably a Greek-style yogurt.
