BOCA Tacos

by La’Shon Cannon-Robinson

Before I became vegan, one of my favorite foods was tacos—and still is. I absolutely love tacos!

I had to find a way to still enjoy one of my favorite foods so I came across this recipe when I was online at the Boca website which makes many vegan and vegetarian friendly food items that you can purchase at your local grocery store.

I definitely play around with the ingredients and add things according to my likes. I add vegetarian refried beans to the inside of my taco for added flavor. Another thing that I like to do is to add cayenne pepper to spice it up a bit.

Then I garnish my veggie tacos with guacamole, romaine lettuce, chopped tomatoes, salsa and shredded rice cheese. All I have to say is uummmm!

You can find this recipe at www.boca.com and don’t be afraid to try alternatives such as Boca meatless spicy chik’n patties. Enjoy!
