Looking for a tasty and healthy alternative to traditional tacos? Look no further than these delicious Vegan Falafel Tacos! Made with a blend of chickpeas, herbs, and spices, these tacos are packed with flavor and nutrition.
To make these Vegan Falafel Tacos, you will need the following ingredients:
- For the falafel:
- 1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup of fresh parsley leaves
- 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/2 cup of diced onion
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- For the tacos:
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 cup of shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup of diced tomato
- 1/2 cup of diced avocado
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup of vegan sour cream
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
To make the falafel, combine the chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still slightly chunky. Add the flour and pulse again until the mixture comes together into a dough-like consistency.
Form the falafel mixture into small balls, about the size of a ping pong ball. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the falafel balls to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
To assemble the tacos, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds on each side. Divide the shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and diced avocado among the tortillas. Top each taco with 2-3 falafel balls, a dollop of vegan sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
These Vegan Falafel Tacos are a delicious and healthy twist on traditional tacos. They are packed with flavor and nutrition, and are sure to be a hit with vegans and non-vegans alike. The falafel balls are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the toppings add a fresh and zesty flavor. Give this dish a try and you won't be disappointed!
