Easy, breezy, beautiful, vegan roasted veggie tacos! These are so delicious on their own, but they’re even better with some chipotle mayo drizzled on top. Yum!

WHY I MADE THESE VEGAN TACOS

These roasted veggie tacos are the perfect solution for time-strapped foodies who (like me) like to have mostly prepared food waiting at home so that you can avoid that sad moment at the end of the day where you get home from work, open the refrigerator and are greeted with nothing but fruit flies and silence.

THESE VEGGIE TACOS ARE PERFECT FOR MEAL PREP!

I’m a huge fan of making a big batch of food once a week and freezing the rest so that you have food to eat for days and days. These veggie tacos fall perfectly in that category, because you make them by roasting a whole lotta yummy veggies that you can eat immediately, or freeze for later.

And what do we do when we have a bunch of roasted veggies laying around, and a few corn tortillas on hand too? As the saying goes, when life gives you limes, you make tacos.

MAKE VEGGIE TACOS HOWEVER YOU’D LIKE

These veggie tacos should be customized to your liking, but for inspo I made mine with mushrooms, red pepper, onions, garlic, zucchini, corn, and Cuban-style black beans, which are a non-negotiable for this recipe. I grew up eating Cuban black beans pretty much every day along with rice and chicken because those three foods are a staple in Caribbean households.

…BUT DON’T SKIP THE DRIZZLE

Oh, but what really takes these homemade tacos from 10 to 20 is the vegan chipotle mayo that is drizzled on top. I am capital-O Obsessed with chipotle mayo, even though I don’t love mayo much on its own. Now that I avoid animal products (saying vegan is still a hard word ) I was looking for a way to make chipotle mayo at home, and this recipe does not disappoint! Seriously, cashews are the basis of life (and of this vegan chipotle mayo recipe, you’ll soon find).

Happy meal prepping!
