It's been so long since I've made that recipe!! I also use my chili recipe from Vive in tacos... really, any chili can be transformed into tacos for me!!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, t! :)<BR/><BR/>Savanna, yeah, I think it's really a preference, what works for each person. I don't mind a little of the fake meats like ground round in chili for instance, but I don't bother with the fake ham/bacon/turkey slices, etc. For some, it really helps them make the shift to veganism, and other people really love the fake meats. I figure whatever works to encourage people to stop eating the real stuff!! Problem is, I think that some folks try the fake meats in an attempt to replace the animal products, but they are disappointed by taste/texture, and go back to eating meat. There's more to this diet than replacing animal products with meat analogues. :)Dreenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16551890320761504899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-1152305185837092282006-07-07T13:46:00.000-07:002006-07-07T13:46:00.000-07:00Neat!

Other times I just stare at them in the fridge and think "ummmmm??" Seriously!<BR/><BR/>Thanks urban vegan... with the oil, in my Vive cookbook, I do the combo with a garlic clove, letting the garlic infuse the vinegar first. But lately I have simply combined the two. The flax oil I have been buying recently (Spectrum brand) is so clean tasting - no bitter aftertaste - that I don't find I need the garlic in it like I used to do, to help with the flavor. <BR/><BR/>Leslie, I was eating them and that name just popped in my head, and I thought that I should do something with it in the book. Good to know you and others like the name and concept too. Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Harmonia, taco salad sound fabu to me!!! Haven't had one in ages!<BR/><BR/>Jess, imagine the potluck we could have, hey??!<BR/><BR/>Leslie, you're a gem! So funny, I was scrolling down through the comments and see you again, like you just stopped me to say "oh, by the way"... so cool! As I've said a few times, I don't use a lot of fake meats. Sometimes ground round in chilis (not often though), and other than tofu and a tempeh burger that I buy (and veggie burgers), we don't eat the fake meats that much. Mostly because I have been disappointed by some of them, and also hubby doesn't like many of them at all. I might experiment a little more with seitan, because that's more 'real' to me... but even with something like this, I so enjoyed the hearty beans, and then the light quinoa - it was really good. I have a feeling you will be doing this soon...? I hope so, I'd love to see your take on tacos and what you put in them!!Dreenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16551890320761504899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-1152260352232126142006-07-07T01:19:00.000-07:002006-07-07T01:19:00.000-07:00Ok, I know why I like these and I have come back 3...Ok, I know why I like these and I have come back 3 times to look already! It's because there's no fake meat in these tacos (or real, by that matter) and they are so appealing with the quinoa grain and the bean chili veggie mix.
