Tips for making a vegan taco bowl.
The avocado that is in the center of my bowl is simply smashed avocado. Feel free to use guacamole, diced avocado, or sliced avocado instead.
Here are some more great tips for you.
- To prepare dry chickpeas first rinse them in a colander and then soak them in a large bowl of water overnight. Drain the chickpeas and rinse them again before placing them in a large pot, and covering in water. Bring the chickpeas to a boil, and then simmer for 1 ½ hours or until they are tender. Drain the chickpeas before adding them to this recipe.
- To prepare your black beans from scratch, start by rinsing them thoroughly in a colander to remove any debris or small stones. Soak the beans overnight submerged in water to soften and then drain and rinse them again in the morning. Place the drained beans in a large pot and cover with water. Then bring the beans to a boil, before simmering for 1 ½ hours or until they are tender. Drain the beans before adding them to this recipe.
- This recipe can be as simple as using canned ingredients rather than preparing them from scratch. I use canned chickpeas, black beans, and corn.
How to store leftover taco bowl ingredients.
It is best to store the ingredients individually and then add them to the bowl before serving. If properly stored, the ingredients should last for about four days refrigerated.
