I don’t usually post on Sundays, but I REALLY wanted to share this recipe in time for Cinco de Mayo! So it’s Tres de Mayo, and I am excited to share these mini cups of Cinco de Mayo flavor with you just in time.
It might be last minute, but these Vegan Taco Salad Cups are worth a quick trip to the grocery store, a basket full of veggies, herbs, and spices, and 30 minutes in the kitchen.
With crunchy homemade corn cups, romaine lettuce, cruciferous ‘meat’, toppings, and a sprig of cilantro, these little cups are an abundance of flavorful veggies all in a one hand-held package.
Check out this video to find out how to cook these little cups!
