Ingredients
  

Sweet Potatoes

  • 1 large sweet potato or 2 small (enough for 4 people)
  • 1-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning see notes

Vegan Mexican Ground "Beef"

  • 1 cup TVP (textured vegetable protein)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth or water
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1-2 tbsp taco seasoning see notes
  • salt and pepper to taste

Toppings and lettuce

  • guacamole
  • ½ head iceburg lettuce, chopped or romaine
  • ¼-½ cup grated vegan mozarella
  • ½ cup salsa I like chipotle salsa for this
  • hot sauce

Instructions
 

Sweet Potatoes

  • Start by pre-heating the oven to 400 degrees and lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes into smaller bite-sized cubes, and add onto the baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Drizzle with olive oil, and taco seasoning. Toss with your hands to combine. (or mix them in a bowl ahead then add to the baking sheet)
  • Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for 15 mins, flip then keep baking for another 15-20 mins or until fork tender.

Vegan "Beef"

  • Add dry TVP, broth (or water), soy sauce, tomato paste, and taco seasoning directly into a non-stick pan. The heat should be off at this point.
  • Give the mixture a stir with a wooden spoon, and leave it for 5 mins to re-hydrate the TVP.
  • Turn the pan onto medium heat, add olive oil and cook for about 5-8 minutes or until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Bowl Assembly

  • Assembly your bowls by adding the cooked "beef", sweet potatoes, chopped lettuce, shredded vegan cheese, salsa, hot sauce and guacamole.
  • Toss the salad when you are ready to eat, and enjoy! This is also delicious with a side of tortilla chips or with a few tortilla chips crumbled on top.

Notes

If you don't have taco seasoning use these spices listed below:
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • salt & pepper to taste
