BEYOND MEAT SUPER BLUE CORN TACOS CON GUACAMOLE

BEYOND MEAT SUPER BLUE CORN TACOS CON GUACAMOLE

When I was a kid growing up in Southern California, Taco Tuesday was a fun time to get together, grub, listen to music and hang out in our West Hollywood home. We would create a gigantic taco bar on the dining room table where over 20 different items from proteins to raw vegetables, cheeses, salsas, beans, pickled vegetables, sour creams, guacamole, citrus fruits, corn and floured tortillas, crispy and soft shells were all layer out for the choosing. There definitely was something for everyone to enjoy. It’s crazy how “the taco” brings folks together no matter what your eating preference. Carnivore, pescatarian, vegetarian or vegan. Tacos are sure to please every palate and comfort every discerning craving.
I make these “Beyond Beef” tacos for my friends, clients and my family. Organic blue corn crunchy tortilla shells are filled with the fiercely seasoned meat and loaded with creamy homemade guacamole and hot Salsa de Arbol. Seasoned just right, they’ll fool even the most hardened of vegans into believing they’re eating real beef.
