HERE is the list of the famous chefs contributing recipes. And
HERE are the vegan & vegetarian meals currently offered (impressive – no?). I was given the opportunity to try the service & jumped at the chance. I am a long-time fan of
Beyond Meat & the pairing of these two companies is exciting to me. I got the Beast Burger & Tacos & will post about the tacos here – the burgers are in
THIS post.
Here is what showed up (for the tacos – enough to feed 4):
As with the
Beast Burgers – I am very familiar with
Beyond Meat‘s Feisty crumbles & I am already a fan. This meal came together quickly & easily & everything tasted fresh & delicious. In this case – there was a lot of extra vegan cheese (I am not complaining!) and more than enough chipotle Vegenaise (again – not complaining – especially as it came in the tiny condiment jars I am so fond of).
The recipe called for guacamole with crushed red pepper in it. I am a guacamole purist (just avocado, lime & salt, please) – so – I opted just to slice the avocado & use it naked and I added all the crushed red pepper supplied (enough for 4 tacos) into the beefy crumbles meant for two (I like spice).
The black beans come together in 5 minutes & the lime & cilantro make them taste light & fresh & clean – not lard-heavy or mushy.
And the feisty beef crumbles also only took about 5 minutes. Because I added lots of crushed red pepper – they were also very spicy. I forgot to add the chipotle Vegenaise until after I had taken most of the pictures but it was a nice flavor layered in with the tortillas, crumbles, lettuce & avocado.
This meal was flavorful, robust, filling and SO EASY to make! What a great pair of options for any vegan or vegetarian – especially a newby not sure where to start – and for anyone looking to cut back on meat but not on flavor or protein.
