Meet my plant-based baby bella, poblano, and corn tacos. They’re my favorite way to indulge in tacos any day of the week! The sautéed baby bella mushrooms in the filling create meatiness … no meat required. And the remaining ingredients are soooo flavorful. Hello warm spices and caramelized poblano peppers and corn.

I created this Mango, Black Bean & Caramelized Veggie Burrito recipe because I wanted something that was really tasty and fun, but also featured vitamin C superstars, like mangos, since vitamin C is an important nutrient for immune health. Did you know that 3/4 cup of mango provides 50% of your daily vitamin C? Cheers to that!

mexican caramelized rice and veggie skillet

Meet my quick-fix Mexican caramelized rice and veggie skillet! Think of it kind of like veggie-loaded fried rice, but with a Mexican-ish instead of Asian-style twist. It’s a one-skillet dish that I’ve been making (and devouring!) regularly this month, especially as a post-workout meal since it’s rich in good carbs along with a decent punch of protein. However, if you prefer to curb carbs a bit, simply use riced cauliflower as a swap for brown rice. Either way, it’s a deliciously satisfying dinner for one (or side dish for two, if you wish).

This Huevos rancheros-inspired breakfast scramble is my go-to recipe idea when in the mood for a plant-based egg entrée with plenty of intrigue. It’s a fun and tasty way to get your grains. It’s a winner for anyone fond of Mexican cuisine. It’s ideal if you need to follow a gluten-free lifestyle. Plus, it’s a perfect pick when you want a meat-free breakfast (or brunch or lunch or dinner!) dish for four in 20 minutes or less. Hint: Make this Mexican breakfast scramble next Meatless Monday!
