These versatile gluten-free vegan tacos are flavorful, healthy and filling. Simple to make and a very versatile vegan gluten-free taco recipe to make for the family or a crowd. 

A tray with three different vegan and gluten-free tacos: tofu, cauliflower and plant-based chicken


Let’s face it tacos are the best; especially on a lazy weeknight when you need something quick and delicious. But who isn’t looking for a new twist for taco Tuesday. We created three taco dinner options - cauliflower tacos, tofu tacos and plant-based chicken tacos for a choose your own adventure type of dinner situation.

Preparing these tacos involves a few different elements but once they’re all made, assembling everything is so easy.

These tacos are a great choice because, they are:

  • Healthy
  • Simple, the ingredients are easy to find and prepare
  • And its a flexible recipe. As well as the tofu, cauliflower or mock chik’n you could also try it with lentils, chickpeas or gluten-free seitan

This recipe is super easy to make gluten-free by using corn tortillas instead of wheat based soft flour tortillas that are so common on the shelf. If you are avoiding corn there are several companies that use alternative flours like Almond, Chickpea and Cassava Tortillas from the brands Siete or Mikey’s
