Vegetarian Taco Salad

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Trying to stay low carb and having a child who won’t eat anything that ever walked, can be a bit of a challenge.  Veggies are easy and most of the time we just prepare our animal protein separately and Haley supplements with beans, tofu etc.  There are times however, that I just want to make a big pot of something. I came up with this dish; Vegetarian Taco Salad.  It’s easy and tasty and I hope you like it too!

  • olive oil
  • 4 med. onions, peeled and chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic peeled and chopped
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • Salt
  • 1 pint mushrooms (any kind)
  • 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce (I like Muir Glen because they have no BPAs!)
  • 1 can each chick peas, red beans and black beans, strained and rinsed
  • chopped cilantro
  • guacamole – prepared or home made (here’s one of my variations with cucumber, just leave it out if you like)
  • salsa – I love La Mexicana brand, or homemade (here’s one with cucumber – I really like cucumber – if you don’t, just omit it)
  • sour cream
  • salad of lettuce, tomato and cucumber
Heat a large, dutch oven style pan with a lid on med/high heat.  Add about a tablespoon of olive oil and when it’s hot, add the onions and a big pinch of salt. Cook the onions until they’re translucent and then add the mushrooms and red pepper flake.  When the mushrooms darken, add the garlic and stir to get everything combined.
When the garlic is super fragrant, add the tomato sauce and cook down a bit, stirring frequently.
Remove from the heat, add the beans, toss and cover – stirring occasionally to heat the beans up. When they’re hot, get a bowl and put some salad in the bottom, some beans over that and top with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. Sprinkle a generous amount of cilantro over the top and a pinch of salt and dig in! The mushrooms and the beans make this ridiculously satisfying and even the carnivores loved it.
