13 Vegetarian Tacos That Don’t Skimp on Flavor (or Toppings)

For an easy weeknight dinner formula, look no further than vegetarian tacos. Whether you prefer corn or flour tortillas, and whether you stuff them with black beans, squash, or mushrooms, we encourage you to chart your own path to taco satisfaction. You can’t go wrong with roasted veggies, seasoned with plenty of paprika or chili powder and nestled inside a warm tortilla—yes, the tortilla must be warm; that’s the only rule.

When you fall into a meal plan rut, you can mix up these vegetarian taco recipes in endless ways. Dress them up with salsa, guacamole, queso fresco, sour cream (or a sour cream substitute if you’re keeping it vegan), or all of the above. Make a hearty main dish in the form of burritos, nachos, or taco salad. Tortillas gone stale? Turn them into tostadas, or if you’re feeling ambitious, make your own tortillas. No matter which route you take, know that a squeeze of fresh lime juice is the perfect finishing touch for any of the dishes listed below.

These tacos—most of which can be made in under an hour—will make fantastic additions to your growing inventory of vegetarian recipes. Serve them with creamy refried beans, green rice, Papas con Rajas, or Chile con Queso. And if you need something to drink, it’s margaritas, duh.
