Ingredients

  • 1 batch Vegan Taco Meat Tap for recipe; see Notes for subs; about 2 ½ cups or 10 ounces
  • 6 medium flour tortilla Can sub whole-wheat or 100% corn for WFPB option; see Notes, burrito-size, or flour-corn combo
  • 1 ½ cups vegan cheese about 2 oz; see Notes for oil-free, shredded
  • ¾ cup refried beans canned or homemade refried black beans
  • 2 large handfuls baby spinach fresh, optional
For serving:
  • salsa
  • guacamole or vegan sour cream
  • cilantro
  • lime wedges

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 C), and line a baking pan with parchment. If you have an oven-proof metal rack, place that on top.
  2. If the taco meat was made in advance and is cold from the refrigerator, warm it briefly in the microwave or in a small pot on the stove. It doesn't need to be piping hot, just warm.
  3. Lay a tortilla out flat, and spread about 2 tablespoons of refried beans horizontally across the middle. Spoon about ⅓ to ½ cup taco meat on top of the beans, and gently pack it down. Lay a few pieces of spinach on top of the meat, then sprinkle with cheese.
  4. Roll up tightly, and place seam side-down on the baking rack (or directly on the parchment if not using a rack). Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  5. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until hot and crisp. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings. See Notes for storage and re-heating.

Notes

  • Substitute soy curl taco meat for a textured, flavorful vegan filling or use store-bought vegan beef-style crumbles sautéed with seasonalings.
  • Warm corn tortillas before assembling by covering with a damp towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds to prevent cracking while rolling.
  • Reheat leftovers in an oven or toaster oven to maintain crispness; avoid microwaving as it will soften the tortillas.
  • Choose from oil-free vegan cheese options like almond queso fresco or meltable vegan mozzarella for different textures and flavors.
