Happy Cinco de Mayo! Well, it’s actually Star Wars Day, which gives you an extra day to plan your Cinco de Mayo celebration meal. It’s weird that the one time that Cinco de Mayo actually falls on Taco Tuesday most of us are stuck at home with no place to go. Here are some Vegan Taco Tuesday Favorites to inspire you for your at-home celebration.
Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with These Vegan Taco Tuesday Favorites!
In all honesty, I love Mexican food and could eat it almost every night. Of course, I feel the same about Italian and Thai food. And Indian. Um, and American too, so it’s a good thing there are a lot of days in the week!
Anyway, here are some of my Vegan Taco Tuesday Favorites!
Tempeh Taco Salad
Tempeh is made from fermented soybeans and is a great way to add soy protein plus the benefits of fermented food to add good bacteria to your diet. It’s generally gluten-free, but you should check because that is not always the case. This Tempeh Taco Salad is easy to make and is loaded with nutrients from the fresh veggies as well as the tempeh.
Vegan Quesadillas
Yes, I’m vegan and still love cheese (the vegan version!)! Quesadillas are delicious and these Quick and Easy Vegan Quesadillas not only have vegan cheese, but they also have plant-based ground “beef” and a little bit of spice (or a lot if you’d like)
Terrific Tempeh Tacos
Enjoy tempeh again in these Terrific Tempeh Tacos. They are so easy to make and the mango salsa is a perfect accompaniment.
All In One Vegan Burrito
Yes, I will admit that this All In One Vegan Burrito is my favorite dish EVER! I make it at least a couple of times a month and both Alan and I agree that it’s a winner.
Simple Vegan Tacos with Pineapple Salsa
I first made these Simple Vegan Tacos with Pineapple Salsa after spending a race weekend with my friend Christina a couple of years ago. While she is not vegan and made her version with pork, it was super easy to adapt. The pineapple salsa really makes this dish and you can use your choice of plant-based pork, beef, or chicken as well as less processed choices like tofu or jackfruit. They are all delicious.
So there you go. Five great recipes that are perfect for Cinco de Mayo or Taco Tuesday! Enjoy!
May the 4th be with you. Feel free to enjoy a Corona and stay safe!

Love the quesadillas! Although I think I’ll go for the real cheese with this one. 😄 Happy fourth of May!
It’s all good! Quesadillas are so yummy!
I found out tomorrow is also National Enchilada Day so the girls thought it would be a great idea to do breakfast tacos! These would be great any time of day.
Oh yum! I need some enchiladas!
I have been using much more tempeh lately and I love it. Taco Tuesday and Cinco De Mayo are holidays I can get on board with! Thanks for linking up today
I love tempeh and I don’t know why I don’t eat it more often. It’s really easy to season and work with.
These all look so good! I agree with Catrina, I’ll use real cheese. Make mine vegetarian, lol!
Okay, i’ve bookmarked the recipe for tempeh tacos with mango salsa- it sounds amazing. I’ve already planned our cinco de mayo tacos, and I’m making a copycat recipe of the Chipotle tofu sofritas. But I love tempeh so I will make these next Tuesday- thanks!
