MUSHROOM MINCE TACOS

This veggie recipe will give ‘em something to taco ‘bout (sorry).
We love tacos and using mushroom mince (as a vegan meat swap) gives them plenty of lovely flavour. It has a really ‘beefy’ texture that just works. Finish it with avocado or guac, tomatoes, salsa, some dairy-free cheese, extra spice (if you like) and you’ve got yourself a Mexican-inspired fiesta.
Sombrero not included.
