    Happy Taco Tuesday, y'all! If you're craving tortillas stuffed with plant-based deliciousness, these vegan taco recipes have you covered.

    I love a taco night, because it's easy to create a meal that everyone can customize to their own tastes.

    My family has what I like to call "divergent tastes." This can make meal-planning tricky, but I've figured out lots of easy ways to work around this issue. Vegan tacos that they assemble themselves are a great work-around!

    Dave can skip the tomatoes, while the kid and I pile ours with extra. Dave and I can douse my tacos in hot sauce. The kid can keep his on the mild side. Everybody wins!

    These are vegan tacos that my family loves along with some that I'm resolving to make this year.

    Vegan Fish Tacos

    We've always made our fishless tacos using Gardein filets, but I'm super into this recipe that uses hearts of palm. You batter and fry them, then pile them into tortillas with zesty shredded cabbage and sweet-and-tangy mango-avocado salsa.
    plate of walnut meat tacos in corn tortillas with vegan sour cream drizzled on top

    Walnut Meat Tacos

    No cooking required to make these easy, filling tacos! You make the walnut meat AND the Lime Cashew Sour Cream in your blender. Top those tacos with fresh carrots, cabbage, cilantro, and onions, and you are ready to eat in about 10 minutes.

    Soy Curl and Kimchi Tacos

    If you've never cooked with soy curls, this is a great chance to discover their deliciousness! They're tender, chewy, and perfectly-seasoned in a gingery, beef-style marinade. Then topped with spicy, crunchy kimchi!

    Jackfruit Carnitas Tacos

    Smoky, pan-fried jackfruit brings the texture and the flavor to these easy tacos. Top them off with some guacamole and your other favorite taco fillings.

    Roasted Sweet Potato Tacos

    While the sweet potatoes and jalapenos roast up in the oven, you can whip up the super easy pico de gallo for these vegan tacos. And, of course, don't forget to top them with creamy avocado before you devour these!
    tortillas stuffed with cut up vegan chicken nuggets, veggies, and cream sauce

    Vegan Chickenless Tacos

    I love a cooking shortcut, and this vegan taco recipe is a total cheater, just how I like it. It uses pre-made chickenless tenders, pre-shredded cabbage, and store-bought vegan ranch. Of course, you can make your own vegan ranch, if you prefer!

    Roasted Tofu Kale Tacos

    You make the crispy tofu and kale filling for these tacos all in the oven, which leaves plenty of time to make the from-scratch tortillas! Of course, I'd never tell if you use store-bought tortillas instead.

    Roasted Veggie Tacos

    Citrusy salsa and cream sauce go beautifully with fresh, roasted veggies in this super healthy vegan taco recipe. While the veggies roast, there's plenty of time to make the sauces and clean up the kitchen a bit before supper time.
    blue plate of lettuce leaves stuffed with raw taco fillings. Lime wedges on the side

    Amy's Raw Tacos

    Raw tacos are basically a taco meets a lettuce wrap. They're so fresh and delicious - just right for a lighter meal. The taco filling uses soaked lentils as a base, so you do need to plan ahead for this recipe.

    Buffalo Chickpea Tacos

    Crunchy, spicy Buffalo chickpeas work so well as a hearty taco filling! This recipe keeps it simple with shredded radish and purple cabbage on top, but I'd love to smother these with vegan ranch!
    wheat tortilla with leafy greens, tofu, hot sauce, and cream sauce

    Chipotle Maple Tofu Tacos

    Sweet, smoky, spicy - these tacos have it ALL! They're so delicious with creamy mashed avocado and a squeeze of fresh lime on top!
    mushroom tacos with rice and salsa topped with creamy green sauce
