- 1 can refried beans (Heat in saucepan.)
- Salsa:
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup minced red onion
1/2 bunch chopped cilantro
Onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, lime juice, & kosher salt to taste.
- Guacamole:
2 small avacados- Scooped.
Onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, lime juice, & kosher salt to taste.
- Daiya Vegan Cheese (Can be found at Whole Foods and other health food stores)
- Vegan Sour Cream

Assembly: Heat tortilla over open flame and prepare taco (or enjoy in hard shell).

Ellen has even more recipes, just go here to see them!

Dear Roberto,

Have you heard of Rancho Gordo Beans they are so great and good for you. Check out the website for tons of information and ideas.

Good eating
Linda

Just for the record Daiya is not a soybased cheese. It is vegan, but in an effort to reduce soy consumption, it is made from cassava root. It's a delicious cheese that is available at ZPizza. Other delicious vegan cheeses include Follow Your Heart, Teese and Cheezly. More vegan recipes can be found at vegweb.com, theppk.com, and many more sites. Veganessentials.com and foodfightgrocery.com are 2 websites that sell vegan cheeses and lots more vegan products!

Your new chef is great. I saw him on your show and was thrilled someone was doing great-tasting vegan food. Then the next week, Oprah had some famous vegan chef on her show. Now I know she steals her ideas from other shows. Keep up the fun, original ideas and keep bringing back Chef Martin!!

My Son and his wife have been vegans for about 10 years now and my daughter has been vegetarian for a long time. I love the challenge of cooking for them.Unfortunately, I have to use recipes. My son just makes up these delicious meals. His lasagna is to die for.
I like doing theme dinners for them,ie. italian, greek (even found a recipe for vegan feta cheese which is excellent), mexican etc.

There are some great substitutes out there, but I haven't found any great "cheese" substitutes. Can anyone help with that.
Thanks,
Beth

As non vegetarian mother of two vegetarian daughters it is so fantastic to find helpful hints and especially the recipes for making tasty meals for my girls. Thank you so much as I want to honor their dietary wishes. Also, if you could highlight L.A. restaurants that you like that have good vegan/vegetarian menu choices that would be great too. Thank you and I will be looking at this site frequently for more ideas!

Thanks fot the recipes!Even though I'm not a vegeterian, it's allways a pleasure to try something new.

The tacos were so Fantastic! my 11 year old son helped make them with me and he thought they were so delicious. He loved them, and so did I. I think they have been the healthiest dinner we have had in a very long time. very satisfying. we used regular cheese and no sour cream. they were very filling. My son wants to make them again for his friends.

I loved seeing Chef Roberto on your show! It was a fun clip and I hope to see more of him. The recipe looks fab.

Had them tonight. FANTASTIC!! Thank You!

Ok I get not eating animal products, but why do vegetarian products have to look like meat? Why would you want to eat something that looks like what you don't want to eat?

Posted by j johnson | October 3, 2009 2:32 PM

Eating a plant based diet can be fun and easy. The rewards are numerous.
