This Crispy Taco Fold Hack is a quick, flavorful vegan taco recipe that transforms a simple tortilla into a crispy, cheesy taco pocket filled with seasoned vegan ground beef and fresh salsa.

  • Total Time: 18 minutes
  • Yield: 1 crispy taco fold (serving for 1 person)

Ingredients

Main Wrap

  • 1 large tortilla
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons garlic yogurt sauce (mix vegan yogurt with garlic, lemon juice, parsley, and salt)
  • A handful of nacho chips
  • 1 small handful grated vegan cheese

Vegan Beef Mixture

  • 3 to 4 tablespoons vegan ground beef (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons tomato salsa or tomato passata
  • 1 pinch chili powder
  • 1 pinch cumin
  • 1 pinch garlic powder
  • Salt to taste

Garlic Butter for Toasting

  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 pinch chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegan Beef Mixture: In a bowl, combine the vegan ground beef with tomato salsa or passata. Season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt to taste. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices and set aside.
  2. Assemble the Taco Fold: Lay the large tortilla flat. Spread 3 to 4 tablespoons of garlic yogurt sauce evenly over one half of the tortilla. On top of the sauce, sprinkle a handful of nacho chips for added crunch, then layer the grated vegan cheese. Spoon the seasoned vegan beef mixture over the cheese and nachos.
  3. Fold the Tortilla: Carefully fold the tortilla in half over the fillings to create a half-moon shape, pressing gently to keep the layers intact.
  4. Prepare Garlic Butter for Toasting: In a small bowl, mix vegan butter with chopped fresh parsley and a pinch of chili flakes until well combined.
  5. Toast the Taco Fold: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush the outside of the folded tortilla with the prepared garlic butter mixture. Place the taco fold in the skillet and cook until the exterior is crispy and golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Brush the other side with garlic butter before flipping. Ensure the cheese melts and the inside is warmed through.
  6. Serve: Remove the crispy taco fold from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Serve immediately while hot and crispy, optionally with extra garlic yogurt sauce or salsa on the side.

Notes

  • Use vegan yogurt that is creamy and plain for the best garlic yogurt sauce texture.
  • The vegan ground beef can be store-bought or homemade using textured vegetable protein or lentils.
  • Adjust the chili flakes and chili powder according to your preferred spice level.
  • Ensure the skillet is not too hot to avoid burning the tortilla before the cheese melts inside.
  • You can substitute nacho chips with crushed tortilla chips for more crunch.
