Quick tacos in the summer time are one of my favorite weeknight dinners. With a handful of simple ingredients and 20 minutes you have delicious tacos on your hands with these Chipotle “Steak” Tacos!

here’s what you need
ingredients

- vegan “steak”
- chipotle chili powder
- garlic salt
- cumin
- pepper
- salsa verde
- avocados
- yellow onion
- cilantro
- lime juice
- corn tortillas
equipment
You need a skillet and a small blender (or food processor).
steps
step 1: cook the vegan steak
Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the vegan steak & dry seasonings. Toss to coat and spread in an even layer. Cook until browned on both sides. When the steak is almost done, add the salsa verde to the skillet and toss until combined.
step 2: prep the extras
While the vegan steak is cooking you are going to prep the avocado salsa and the onions & cilantro.
Add all of the salsa ingredients to a small blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Give it a taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
And then chop up some onion, cilantro and limes. Add everything to a bowl and mix to combine.
step 3: serve
Before you do anything else, heat up your tortillas. I like to do this over an open flame, but you could also use a skillet.
Load up the tortillas with the salsa, “steak” and onions/cilantro.
These tacos are incredibly simple but also absolutely delicious! The perfect weeknight dinner!
