Tacos are (or should be) a part of everyone’s diet and are a super quick weeknight meal. While I personally don’t eat beef, it’s still eaten by many of my clients and those I reach in other ways. So for those of you like me, you need options, and for those of you who eat beef – let’s make your taco experience more creative!
So, to expand your palates and increase your intake of plants, I’ve rounded up over 35 easy taco recipes from dietitians that are free of beef (and pork!). You can even make your own tortillas if you’re feelin’ adventurous. Need vegan options? Any recipe below with a “*” can be made vegan {some may require eliminating cheese}.

Not enough taco options for you?
Chef and dietitian Sara Haas released a cookbook with over 100 taco recipes this year! It’s appropriately named “Taco Taco Taco!” and even has dessert taco recipes, too!
I love all the variety of these tacos- I think every single recipes looks delish!
I seriously want to try all of them!
You have no idea how much I appreciate this post! I really do not like ground meat simply because of the texture. So I love other options!!
