Vegan Chopped Taco Salad

This recipe is from Pinterest (you can get the original recipe from HERE), and I would definitely say this is a pin win! The flavours came together nicely, it was simple enough to make, and it's healthy!

What you will need:

Taco “meat”

• ½ white onion, sliced
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 cup cooked chickpeas
• 1 teaspoon taco seasoning mix

Guacamole

• ½ avocado flesh, mashed
• 1 tablespoon finely diced white onion
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro
• Juice from ½ lime
• Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Salad Ingredients

• 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
• 1 tomato, chopped
• 2 tablespoons salsa

Add onions and water to a pan on medium-high heat for about 2-3 mins until the onions are softened. Then add chickpeas and taco seasoning and reduce heat to medium. Cook uncovered for another 2-3 minutes, until heated through.

 

Meanwhile, add guacamole ingredients to a small bowl and mash with a fork to combine. Set aside.

 

Pile all of the salad ingredients in a bowl. Top with guacamole and taco “meat”.

 

Variations: The original recipe also called for corn chips, I did not add those, but feel free for that crunchy texture! Also, this recipe only makes for one (A big serving however).
