Vegan products have improved greatly in the last few years. One of the companies joining this is Urban Accents.It has a whole new line of plant based ground beef mixes that feature the trendiest flavors. There's Street Taco, Korean BBQ and Sloppy Joe.. I decided to give their Street Taco mix a whirl, serving it over rice.
It's an easy mix to create , easier than Morningstar farms and Gardein's.Two packets are perfect, especially if you want leftovers. It was just soaking the already meat crumbles in water for five minutes.
Then chopping up quarter of an onion and one green pepper.
These were sauteed in six tablespoons of olive oil and then the meat was added.
Then the meat and a little more oil to moisten the meat. I didn't want it too dry.
it took only ten minutes to cook up. I decided to have it with rice.
I'm glad I had it with the rice instead of a taco shell. The flavor is very intense and fiery and it works well with white rice. You could sub in massa or polenta with this too.
This was an interesting mix to try and I will be trying the other two flavors from Urban Accents. This plant based meat blend is a great way to enjoy meaty Mexican food without the guilt. Try it and see.
