Low Carb Vegan Taco Bowl
How to Make It
Step 1
Start by finely dicing mushrooms into the smallest pieces you can. The closer you can get the mushrooms to a minced texture, the more they will resemble ground beef. Cremini mushrooms are best for the recipe because they have a darker color and a deeper flavor. However, you can use plain white mushrooms for this recipe as well. Your minced mushrooms should equal the weight listed in the ingredients.
Step 2
Pour the olive oil into a large pan and heat it over high heat. Wait for the oil to be hot for frying, then add the minced mushrooms to the pan. Season the mushrooms with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne, and stir the ingredients together. Let the mushrooms sit undisturbed in the pan until they become charred on one side to mimic charred meat. Then, continually stir and cook the mushrooms until they shrink considerably and become very tender.
Step 3
Take the pan off the stove heat. Stir the milled flaxseed into the pan of “ground beef” and let it stand for 5 minutes. Leave the pan set aside as you turn your focus to making the rice. Heat the olive oil in a new pan over high heat. Add riced cauliflower to the oil, and season it with seasoned salt and pepper. Continually stir over the high heat until the seasoned rice is golden brown with some crispy edges here and there.
Step 4
To assemble the taco bowl, spoon the cauliflower rice into the bowl first (about 4 ounces). Spoon the vegan taco beef on top of the rice (about 2 ounces), and add any additional Keto vegan taco toppings at your discretion. Vegan toppings that are also keto-friendly include 1-2 tablespoons of salsa, guacamole or fresh slices of avocado, and shredded lettuce. If you have any vegan sour cream or cheese product that fits within your macros, you can use this as well.
