Vegan High Protein Lettuce Taco Boats 🌮 - Food Photography
Morning everyone! Today’s recipe is being posted a bit earlier than usual, because I’ve decided to start getting my recipes out earlier in the day so I have more time to work/get things done later in the day. Shifting my schedule around bare with me 😅
This delicious recipe is something I enjoy, but do not eat often, lettuce tacos! I usually eat these without cooking anything and just use raw nuts as the base for meat (which turns out to be a recipe much higher in fat... no bueno!), however I decided to switch it up and these were so delicious!
These are perfect for summer dinners because the lettuce is so refreshing and crunchy, with the raw veggies, avocado cream & taco sauce it’s just YUM all day long. 🙌🏼
I hope you all enjoyed Independence Day, and celebrated with a vegan meal! I was considering going all out and making black bean burgers, but it was hot, and I wanted something refreshing. That recipe will have to wait for another day!

Resteeming so i can make this for my vegan friends we are staying with this week! So hot and summery here in the UK. Thus looks perfect for it!
Thank you so much! @stickycj I hope you all enjoy!! ❤️
I have never had tacos in my life! It's not that well spread in Europe. I already wanted to make them but somehow haven't managed yet. I like the idea of making them in the lettuce leaves and your meat is amazing!!! It's great that you make it yourself and don't buy it.
Thank you for another great recipe. If I start making all of those that I want to try I will keep eating meals from your recipes for a few weeks probably :D
Haha always love your comments! Thank you so much! @delishtreats you will have food foreverrrr haha! You MUST try these for your first time having “tacos”! Mmmm they are so good, and yes perfect for summer 😋
I will do so :) I'm sure it's the perfect meal for summer! :)
This looks delish @therawfoodie I always like to see what gets whipped up in your Kitchen............
Thank you! @michelnilles :D
