It will also depend on the recipe that you are using; however, some quick allergen-friendly taco tips are: Use corn tortillas instead of flour and then use a vegan shredded cheese that is safe for your allergens. You can look through our shredded vegan cheese guide to find one suitable for your needs. Also double check your taco seasoning mix if using store bought.
Almost every vegan taco recipe can easily be prepped ahead. You’ll want to cool off your mixture entirely first and then you can store in an air tight container. Again, depends on the recipe, but most will last for 3-5 days!

Vegan Taco Meat Options:
While taco toppings can be made with so many various ingredients, especially as vegans, if you are looking for vegan taco meat options, then nuts or tofu are a great option.
Below we share how to make walnut taco meat as well as pecan taco meat. The nuttiness of the nuts give it a great flavor and a slight crunch all at the same time. For our nut-free friends, we have a sunflower seed taco meat option that uses the same flavor profile, but completely nut free.
Lastly, we share how to make vegan taco meat from tofu. You can use this recipe give or take with some vegan meatless crumbles that you find frozen or in the refrigerated section of the store as well.
We also share how to make seasoned roasted cauliflower which also is an amazing base for tacos!
