Freshness in every bite. These vegan carne asada tacos are so delicious and the homemade corn tortillas take this dish to another level.
I love eating Mexican food, it is my favorite cuisine! So you know I had to recreate the classic carne asada corn tortilla tacos using 100% plant based ingredients.
In place of the beef for my carne asada, I am using seitan. It is a high-protein vegetarian food made from cooked wheat gluten that coincidentally has a similar texture to meat (if you cook it the right way).
I highly recommend making your corn tortillas at home rather than buying the store version because it really does make a difference.
