      That's awesome! I'm so glad you think non vegans would enjoy this because I think s too! it's so hearty and flavorful, and it's something familiar too. I think some non vegans think vegan food is "weird" but everyone loves tacos and nachos and casseroles so this will hopefully be appealing to lots of different people 😊 And I'm os happy to hear that you're enjoying Thrive Market. That makes me really happy. Let me know what you get on your next shop. I've been looking for some new fun products!

    Nikki & fans try out this ground meatless recipe. Nikki - it uses some of the same ingredients you used in this casserole but it combined it differently to make a ground meat substitute that is fantastic and can be used in so many ways! Cauliflower riced, mushrooms, and a small amount of walnuts. You can change up seasonings and turn it into taco filling, a sausage gravy, a base for Italian meat sauce and it is simply those three plant based ingredients and spices. A pulsing in a food processor will get them all close in same size. Test it out - I did and now this is my go to for ground meat sub. www.brandnewvegan.com/recipes/mexican-food/amazing-cauliflower-tacos The recipe is there and a link to his youtube video (which happened to be his first video on his channel)

Then we just did layers of tortilla strips, taco meat (which we would mix with enchilada sauce, or salsa, or sometimes both!), Mexican-style shredded cheese, and cilantro. We would bake it just to melt the cheese. And I’m pretty sure we even just microwaved it sometimes when we didn’t feel like turning on the oven. 😂 Not very healthy but omg it was SO good!
