Let’s taco ‘bout how much we love these spicy vegan tacos. Instead of meat, they’re loaded with a lip-smacking combo of smoked paprika chickpeas and garlic-infused sweet potatoes with onions and peppers. But the flavorful fiesta doesn’t stop there! “Cheesy” nutritional yeast, jalapenos, cilantro and avocado take the handhelds from delicious to downright irresistible. You’ll fall in love at first bite! Just don’t forget the margaritas…
