How to Make Veggie Tacos – Step by Step
First add seasonings with black beans in a pan and place on a LOW simmer. Stir occasionally.
The different vegetables each cook for different times. First saute the zucchini for 3-4 minutes in butter, then add mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes. Last, stir in chopped kale for 1 additional minute with everything seasoning.

Add ingredients into a blender or food processor with water and and season salt to taste. Blend until smooth.
Extra Tips for Making Vegetarian Tacos
Use any vegetable you love: these tacos are very versatile so you can use almost any vegetable you have on hand. I recommend: bell peppers, corn, carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower.
Everything Seasoning: this is a must for the vegetables! It draws tons of umami flavor from the mushrooms and brings a satisfying taste to these tacos. Either use store-bought (located in your grocery store seasoning aisle) or make it yourself!
Tortillas: I love using flour tortillas for this recipe, you can use white flour + corn blend, whole wheat, or gluten free tortillas!
Storing avocado sauce: I love keeping the leftover avocado sauce in a mason jar stored in the fridge for 2-3 days to use up on other recipes or repeat on these yummy tacos. Tip: the more lime juice in the avocado sauce the more it will stay preserved and not brown.
Drew and I made these tacos for an entire WEEK because we loved them so much. I’m certain you and your family will love them just as much as we do!
Whether for “meatless Monday” or “taco Tuesday” – these veggie tacos are a balanced and nutritious meal that can be enjoyed anytime of the week. Enjoy!
