Ingredients:
1 package of vegan chicken
8 small corn tortillas
1 avocado, sliced
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
Juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Hot sauce or salsa (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven according to the instructions on the package of vegan chicken.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to make a marinade.
- Place the vegan chicken strips or nuggets in a mixing bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss gently to coat the chicken evenly with the spices.
- Arrange the seasoned vegan chicken on a baking sheet and bake according to the package instructions until crispy and golden.
- While the vegan chicken is baking, prepare the taco toppings. In separate bowls, have the sliced avocado, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and red onion ready.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable. Keep them warm in a clean kitchen towel.
- Once the vegan chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Cut the strips or nuggets into smaller pieces suitable for filling the tacos.
- Assemble the tacos by placing a generous amount of the vegan chicken pieces onto each tortilla. Top with avocado slices, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and red onion.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos for added zest and flavor.
- Serve the zesty vegan chicken tacos with hot sauce or salsa on the side, if desired.
