Pictured Recipe: Beefless Vegan Tacos

There are few foods as simple and totally craveable as tacos. They also make for a great kitchen-sink meal in a pinch. Here we break down a taco formula that will help you get a healthy meal on the table with whatever you have on hand.

How it works:

Choose a flavor for your salsa and sauce/marinade, cook your protein, then assemble your tacos (or put out all the fixings and let everyone assemble their own). For a super-speedy meal, cook meat up to a day ahead and then reheat it before serving. Or transform leftovers: tacos are a wonderful way to use up leftover cooked meat and seafood.

Pulled Pork & Pineapple Tacos

Plan ahead so you can use your slow cooker to prepare the pulled pork for these tacos. Pork loin is a lean cut that’s a healthier option than traditional pork shoulder, which has more fat.

Cumin-Crusted Shrimp Tacos

These easy shrimp tacos are inspired by the seafood tacos in Baja California.

Cilantro-Lime Chicken Tacos

A quick lime marinade does double duty as a sauce in these tangy tacos.

Adobo Flank Steak Tacos

Lime juice and adobo sauce lend a tangy and smoky flavor to these tacos.
