One of the first challenges as a vegan was preparing my favorite foods in a new way. Taco salad has always been a favorite of mine but I used to prepare it with cheese and sour cream; 2 items that are animal products which I no longer eat.
Skinny Bitch was my inspiration in becoming vegan. The authors emphasize replacing items as opposed to just eliminating them.
So I eliminated the sour cream and replaced it with guacamole. I replaced the cheese with sesame seeds. I also created a lime, garlic and cilantro dressing.
The rest stayed the same; black beans, corn, red bell pepper, tortilla chips and salsa. I decided to add in broccoli and carrots for sweetness, color, vitamins, minerals and crunch.
I very satisfying meal.
