These amazing, almost-instant vegan tacos make it from idea to plate in less than 15 minutes. You can’t place a delivery order faster than that! And the result are satisfying vegan black bean tacos with a rich, saucy filling. The filling gets its velvety texture from prepared corn and poblano chowder; you could use left over from a batch of homemade if you have it, but store-bought or canned will also work (though you’ll need to check labels carefully if you want to keep the recipe vegan as many pre-made versions contain dairy).
One you’ve got your basics in place, you can top with your favorite salsa, hot sauce, or anything else you like. We suggest a slice of avocado, but if you don’t have a perfectly ripe one on the counter it’s far from essential. Vegan queso fresco can be purchased or you can make a DIY batch to keep in the fridge.
