INGREDIENTS 

  • Tomatoes, use any tomato that you have at home, roma tomatoes are my favorite. You can also use homemade tomato sauce or in a pinch canned tomatoes.
  • Onion and garlic cloves
  • Oregano. I prefer dried Mexican orgegano , but fresh or classic one works perfect. You could also do it with ground coriander, oregano, mint , spearmint, cumin, etc. This dish is so good and forgiving that feel free to add other spices.
  • Oil
  • Potatoes. I prefrer Yukon or russet pototeos here. New or baby potatoes will work great here.
  • Clean and chopped bunch kale. You can use any other green, swiss chard works perfect, spinach or any other green that needs to be used before going to waste.
  • Chile. serrano pepper, jalapeño or chipotle peppers in adobo sauce or a teaspoon of ground chipotle.
  • Corn tortillas for serving

How to make these vegan tacos

It all starts with a Mexican tomato sauce or sofrito, where you add the potatoes and the kale. And then this delicious plant-based “guisado” (stew) is put into corn tortillas to make tacos. You will have a great breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

How to make the sofrito?

  • I put all the ingredients in the food processor and pulse until everything is chopped into small pieces.
  • There have been some occasions in which I add everything in the blender, and I make it more like a “caldillo.” It all depends on how much time I have. Also, if I’m going to use the blender in another recipe that I’ll be cooking, I will probably use the blender to make this Mexican base sauce. The thing is to make cooking easy, fast, and super healthy. And let’s be real, to have less dishwashing to do afterward.
