Tacos de Chocho | #TacoTuesday

by Mikuna Foods

Plant based yet protein packed taco filling can be hard to come by, which is why we have created this walnut shiitake crunch “taco meat.” Filled with umami rich mushrooms, flavorful spices and protein rich quinoa, Mikuna Chocho Superfood Protein Original, and walnuts, this taco meat is sure to become a new staple. Amazing served as is over rice and beans with a side salad, served inside chocho tortillas (recipe below), or served with tortilla chips as a dip, this taco meat will upgrade any meal. For a little bit more effort, turn this taco meat into enchiladas: stuff inside chocho tortillas and cover with enchilada sauce and plant based cheese and bake. Coming together in less than thirty minutes from start to finish, this walnut shiitake crunch is a must.

CHOCHO TORTILLAS

These chocho tortillas will make you wonder why you ever bought tortillas from a store. Filled with more protein than most store bought varieties and incredibly simple, these tortillas are hearty and make a great canvas for any taco filling. We recommend stuffing them full with walnut taco crunch meat and topping it all off with a healthy dollop of guac. Best enjoyed fresh, these tortillas will last in the fridge for a few days and freezer for a few months.

  • 1/2 cups Mikuna Chocho Superfood Protein Original 
  • 1.5-2 cups Hot Water
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Mix ingredients together in a large bowl. Cover with plastic or damp cloth and rest for 20 Minutes.
