Taquería-Style Smoky Mushroom & Pepper Alambre (Alambre de Setas)

This collection brings together CuisineSavvy recipes explicitly tagged Tacos. It is a focused way to explore the catalogue without scrolling through every plant-based recipe on the site. Tags describe the recipe as published; they are not inferred from a title or from a search phrase. That makes the recipes here a more dependable match for the topic, while still leaving room for different cuisines, courses, cooking methods and levels of complexity.

Use the filter below to narrow these tacos recipes by an ingredient, dish or cooking style, then sort the complete set by newest, oldest or HealthScore. Each recipe links to its full ingredients, method, declared allergens and nutrition panel, so you can compare the details that matter to you rather than relying on a label alone. Nutrition needs vary from person to person; where a category relates to a medical condition or prescribed diet, use the recipe data as a starting point and follow advice from your qualified healthcare professional.

Taquería-Style Smoky Mushroom & Pepper Alambre (Alambre de Setas)

Taquería-Style Smoky Mushroom & Pepper Alambre (Alambre de Setas)

A fully plant-based take on the beloved Mexican taquería classic, alambre de res. Meaty oyster and portobello mushrooms stand in for beef, marinated in a bold blend of lime, orange juice, soy sauce, and dark beer for deep, savoury flavour. Smoked coconut bacon delivers that irresistible crispy, smoky bite, whilst melted vegan Oaxaca-style cheese (or vegan Manchego) brings everything together into a gloriously gooey, sizzling tray. Pile it all into warm corn or flour tortillas and serve straight from the pan. Perfect for casual weeknight dinners or scaled up for a crowd — simply prepare the tray the day before and finish it on the barbecue grill or in the oven at 190 °C (375 °F) for 15 minutes, topping with vegan cheese for the last 5 minutes until molten and bubbling.

Tempeh Asada Tacos

Tempeh Asada Tacos

A fully plant-based take on Over The Fire Cooking's grilled carne asada, swapping flank steak for tempeh. Steamed first to open up the bean cake and cut through bitterness, then soaked for just one to two hours in the classic carne asada marinade — amber beer, citrus, white vinegar, coriander, cumin, garlic and jalapeño — and finished over a screaming-hot grill for real char and grill bars. Sliced into strips and served in warm corn tortillas with lime, chopped onion and fresh coriander, it delivers everything the original promises.
