Recipe:

Servings: 2-3

Time: 20-30 minutes


For the taco meat:

  • 1-2 cups carne de soya (can sub tofu, tempeh, or beans!)

  • 1 tbs oil

  • 1/2 medium onion chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic minced

  • 1 bell pepper sliced

  • 1-2 tbs soy sauce

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 1 tsp chili powder

  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

For the salad:

  • 1-2 tbs hummus of choice + 1-2 tbs water

  • baby spinach

  • lettuce of choice

  • grape tomatoes

  • cilantro

  • cucumber chopped

  • Fat-free tortilla chips or tostadas

  • avocado

  1. Chop all veggies

  2. Heat oil over medium heat in a medium pan. Add the onions and bell pepper and cook 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1-2 minutes. Add the carne de soya, soy sauce, and spices and cook until lightly browned, 4-6 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

  3. Make the dressing by mixing the hummus with water until it becomes a pourable, creamy consistency.

  4. Assemble the salad starting with the spinach and lettuce, top with the taco meat, followed by the remaining veggies and the dressing. Mix and enjoy!


This a quick and easy lunch or dinner recipe that tastes great and is super filling! I used to be against eating salads as a vegan because I didn't think that they were substantial enough but it's really all about using the right substitutes and adding some carbs into it! I always find that the most filling and satisfying meals are those that contain a good serving of protein, fats, and carbs! I don't believe in cutting any food group out. Over the past year I have started eating salads similar to this one almost daily to make sure that I get in plenty of fresh, raw veggies. The hummus dressing might seem weird but I promise, if you have a good hummus flavor, it will really bring the salad together! I used the HEB hatch pepper hummus which fits really well with the Mexican flavors that I added to this salad. You could also add some salsa but I found that I really didn't need it in this one!
