A Month of Plant-Powered Mexican Cuisine
Our 10 Favorite Recipes
You don’t need to give up tacos — just give them a plant-based glow-up!
Hey there! Hope your May is off to a good start 🌞🌻
I’ve decided this month is all about celebrating Mexican cuisine — not just because of Cinco de Mayo (though I hope you found your own fun way to enjoy it!), but because this food is bursting with fresh ingredients, bold colors, and amazing flavors that just feel right as we head into summer.
I want to remark how plant-based eating can be super simple and satisfying, no matter what kind of food you love — and Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes are the perfect proof. Think street-style tacos with oyster mushrooms, cozy tomato soups, hearty quinoa bowls, or cheesy dairy-free quesadillas... this cuisine makes it so easy to go plant-based without missing a thing.
So this May, let’s wrap kindness — and some seriously bold flavor — in a warm corn tortilla and celebrate food that’s full of heart, culture, and good vibes. 🌮
Let’s start this month with a complete list of my favorite Mexican recipes for you to get inspired (and a bit hungry maybe).
1. Vegan Loaded Nachos
Our Fully Loaded Vegan Nachos are a delicious snack to share with friends and family this Cinco de Mayo. Topped with our yummy Walnut & Cauliflower vegan "ground beef" and served with vegan queso, this appetizer is a winner dish!
2. Vegan Quesadillas with Black Beans
A great starter to your Mexican-style Menu could be these fantastic Black Bean Quesadillas. This recipe can be made in less than 30 minutes, and it's super simple to prepare.
3. Oyster Mushroom Tacos
These smoky, mouth-watering Oyster Mushroom Tacos should be immediately added to your menu or your Taco Night! The simplicity and flavors of these vegan tacos are just too good to miss. Enjoy these tacos with your favorite toppings, such as fresh salsa, avocado, pickled onions, or jalapeños.
4. Chili Sin Carne
Chili Sin Carne is the plant-based version of the popular Tex-Mex dish, Chili Con Carne, which translates to Chili with meat.
Our one-pot Chili Sin Carne recipe is one of those vegan Mexican recipes that are also family-friendly, and gluten-free. This is a quick and simple recipe that uses mostly pantry ingredients and fresh veggies.
5. One-Pan Mexican Quinoa
This One Pan Mexican Quinoa is a hearty flavor-packed meal and it's a breeze to make. It's a total winner main that takes about 30 minutes on the stove, and you'll only have to clean one pan!

Mexican shell soup is a simple but filling meal that is a staple in Mexican households everywhere. You’ll be surprised how easy it is to make!
7. Mango Pico de Gallo
One of our favorite vegan Mexican recipes, Pico de Gallo or Salsa Fresca is a Mexican salsa made with fresh ingredients. Our Mango Pico de Gallo is sweet, tangy, refreshing, healthy and the perfect salsa to add to your tortilla chips, nachos, or tacos.
8. Vegan Queso
If you are looking for a fast and nutritious Vegan Queso Dip, this recipe is perfect for you. Our Cashew Queso Dip is somehow addictive. Made with all-natural ingredients, it tastes delicious and is suitable for the whole family.
9. Pineapple Pico de Gallo
Another Tropical Pico de Gallo from our kitchen. This Pineapple Pico de Gallo combines the sweetness of the Pineapple with the tanginess, and refreshing flavors of the vegetables and lime.
