Vegan Tacos You’ll Want To Eat Every Night

While I do eat meat, I love to eat plant-based as much as possible. One of my go-to, meat-based dinners is chicken breast simmered in a homemade tomatillo sauce, so I decided to make a vegan version with canned jackfruit!

These tacos are perfect to whip up for a Taco Tuesday get together. Very minimal effort for a deeply flavorful and simple dinner! Feel free to top your tacos with any toppings you desire – get creative!
