    How to Make the Yogurt Cilantro Sauce

    This yogurt cilantro sauce is a go-to at my house. It is simple, delicious and packs the perfect kick.

    Add all of the ingredients to a food processor - non-dairy yogurt, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, apple cider vinegar and dry seasonings. Doesn't get much easier than that. You could also use vegan mayo, but I love the tang that you get with yogurt. If you do sub vegan mayo, I would omit the salt since mayo already has salt in it.

    How to Make the Tacos

    Now that the sauce is taken care of, let's talk tacos. Heat some oil in a skillet and add the onion, poblano and dry seasonings. Let this cook down for a couple of minutes. The veggies should be starting to get tender.

    Add a can of white beans, buffalo sauce and salsa verde - you can buy the salsa verde pre-made or make it yourself! Let this cook for a few more minutes, then use a wooden spoon to gently mash some of the beans.

    To assemble the tacos, grab some tortillas (I used flour), add some filling to each one and gently close them up. Heat some oil in a skillet - no need to go overboard here, I used an avocado oil spray to just coat the skillet. Cook the tacos until browned on both sides. You will need to work in batches.

    How to Serve

    Once all of the tacos are cooked, it is time to eat! I like to serve these with chopped romaine, more cilantro and lime wedges. And, of course, that creamy yogurt cilantro sauce. Dip away!

    These tacos are perfectly spicy, super crispy and the weeknight dinner you'll have on repeat!
