• Hearty Vegan Tortilla Soup – This vibrant vegan tortilla soup is hearty, nourishing, and packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and nutrients.

• Lentil Walnut Tacos with Tahini Lime Sauce – These “meaty” plant-based tacos have a savory filling balanced perfectly with zesty, lightly sweet tahini lime sauce.

Notes & Storage:

Storage: Guacamole is best enjoyed fresh, but we’ve had luck storing it overnight in the refrigerator. Transfer it to an airtight container and press plastic wrap directly against the surface of the guacamole before sealing the container to help limit its exposure to air and slow down browning.

Notes:

1. Adjust Seasonings: Taste and adjust the amount of salt and lime juice, adding more as needed.
2. Add Heat: To make this spicier, add a tablespoon of finely diced fresh jalapeño. Alternatively, add a splash of hot sauce or dash of cayenne pepper.
3. Other Uses for Guacamole: We love guacamole on a variety of dishes. It goes great on veggie burgers, wraps, toast, sandwiches, bagels, grain bowls, salads, flatbread, and baked potatoes.
