↠ Simple Veggie Tacos
Makes 4 tacos
1 15oz can tri-blend beans (or black beans)
1.5 tbsp taco seasoning
1 tbsp tomato paste
1/4 cup water
4 tortillas (I prefer flour for this)
toppings:
shredded lettuce
pickled red onions (or jalapeños or cabbage slaw)
avocado
vegan sour cream
cilantro
Rinse and drain the beans, then transfer to a pan over medium high heat. Add water, taco seasoning, and tomato paste. Stir and reduce heat to medium.
Let the beans simmer for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, mashing gently with the back of a wooden spoon.
If the pan gets too dry, add an extra splash of water as needed.
While the beans cook, cut up lettuce and warm tortillas.
When the beans are thickened and warmed through, distribute evenly between tortillas and top with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
Add desired toppings on top and enjoy!
↠ Vegan Chickpea Tuna Melt
Makes 4 servings
1 15oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/2 lemon
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
3 tsp sweet pickle relish
5 tbsp garlic hummus
lemon pepper, about a 1/2 tsp or to taste
salt to taste
sourdough bread
spinach or lettuce
shredded vegan cheddar cheese
tomato slices
Rinse and drain chickpeas and pulse in a food processor a few times until coarsely chopped (you can also mash the chickpeas by hand using a fork or potato masher)
Add hummus, celery, relish, lemon, salt, and lemon pepper. Mix well, mashing as you go and set aside.
Toast sourdough, add spinach leaves if desired, and add a generous helping of chickpea "tuna" on top. Top with shredded vegan cheese and tomato slices. Season with black pepper and broil for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.
Serve with cucumber spears dressed with fresh lemon, salt, and lemon pepper on the side.
↠ Maple Miso Tofu Recipe
Serves 3
3 tsp miso paste (I use chickpea miso)
1 tsp sesame oil
2.5 tsp maple syrup
2 tbsp dijon mustard
5-6 dashes cayenne pepper
1 block of extra firm tofu
scallions
sesame seeds
Drain water from the tofu and press between a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
Cut into squares and heat a large non-stick pan to medium high heat.
If needed, add a touch of coconut oil to the pan, and once it's warm add the tofu squares to the pan.
Let sear, without touching or flipping, for 3-4 minutes and then brush on a generous layer of the maple miso sauce.
Flip and brush the other side with a more sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes and flip one more time. Edges should be golden brown and the sauce should be caramelized.
Transfer to a large plate, then top the crispy tofu with scallions and sesame seeds and serve with extra sauce on the side if desired.
While there tofu cooks, steam bok choy or green veggies of your choice just for 3 minutes, or until bright green and slightly softened. Season with salt or a splash or tamari and serve along side the tofu.
Quick additions would be sliced avocado or a side of quinoa. If making quinoa from scratch, start that before the tofu so it will be ready when the tofu and veggies are done :)
TIP: don’t have time to make the sauce? A store bought teriyaki or bbq sauce would be tasty too! I love the Trader Joe’s Soyaki sauce

Nikki I can’t say this enough the care and thought you put into your videos is amazing and shows.
I love how you took the chickpea sandwich to the next level by making it a melt.
What a great and comforting idea.
The tofu is my fave! I love these quick recipes! As a vegan mom to FOUR boys who I homeschool, time is a hot commodity around here!
I love that your content doesnt require the tears of a unicorn to make a great meal.🙏❤
Can’t wait to try that sauce!!
Yay! Excited to hear what you think 🙌
I also like making chickpea and avocado mash sandwiches! One can of drained and rinsed chickpeas, 1 ripe avocado, fresh lemon juice to taste (probably around 1/2 a lemon worth), celery salt and black pepper to taste. You make it in a food processor and then serve it on grainy bread with sprouts and tomatoes.
The mock tuna melt was my favorite.
WOW GIRL! JUST WOW!
when i saw the bowl full of your tuna salad smoothed over at the top & all ready to put in the fridge for later, i thought WOW!
im gonna make a double (or triple) batch of that tuna salad & its gonna be the base of all kinds of quick-cos-im-zausted-meals & snacks for a typical working week! Jumping out at me first is the idea of filling the gap of celery sticks with this tuna salad ~ instead of nut butters.
ooh and also, adding it to warm pasta! like... shaking half a cup of the tuna salad in a jar with a few big spoonfuls of the hot pasta water...then pouring it out onto my fave spiral noodles?
or just adding half a cup of the tuna salad to my next bowl of hot mac n cheese! yum!
and and instead of storing plain baked potatoes in my sunday night meal prep, i'll scoop out the baked potato centres, then mash them with this tuna salad, & spoon it all back into the spud frames. i'll happily eat a couple of those (cold) for a work lunch, or even better ~ air fry a few for an easy dinner after a long day! thanks so much for the recipes and the inspiration mate. YOU ROCK!
I really love the tuna melt recipe tuna has been the hardest to give up since going vegan I can’t wait to try it!!!!
This is the content I’m here for
Bok Choy and Tofu are all so Popular around Chinese communities, but you cooking them in a healthier way!
Hummus in the chickpea salad? GENIUS! I love chickpea salad but I don't really like using Vegenaise much anymore and avocado gets so brown and gross. I can't believe I never thought to use hummus! Making this melt today! Thanks, Nikki! 💗💗💗
Just made the tofu for dinner and this is my new favourite way of preparing it and so simple! Thanks you 🤗
I'm excited for the sammie... and more videos like this one. I've been so uninspired lately and haven't felt much like cooking (which isn't normal for me at all). Thank you for giving me some meal ideas for the week. :)
LOVE THAT YOU PUT YOUR YUMMY DELICIOUS RECIPES AND DIRECTIONS UNDERNEATH SO WE CAN HAVE THEM FOR LATER FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO CANNOT COOK YOU THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FABULOUS
Thanks Cindy! Glad you appreciate that :)
I absolutely love your recipes!! Makes it so clear who's really into developing full flavor profile recipes and who just throws recipes out there because it's their job
The veggie tacos are brilliant because I do come home and I want something I can make in 10 to 15 minutes and be done. I can’t wait to try making the chickpea tuna. I’m very new to using tofu and cooking tofu so this looks simple enough for me, LOL! I am a sauce fanatic!
I love your acc so much! As a new vegan, I will make all of these!
I'm going to try your miso sauce!! Thanks for sharing. I'm glad I'm not alone in having chips and salsa for dinner :) , But like you said, I don't feel the best the next day.
All of these meals look sooo good!! I'll definitely be making that "tuna" salad melt! 🤤
I love the visuals and shots you do in your videos, so aesthetically pleasing! Gives me Avantgardevegan vibes
Imagining you watching Happy Pear while they shout "YO, DUDES!" and while you're eating salsa and chips is actually adorable. XD
Omg can’t wait to try the tofu! I actually made the chickpea tuna melts last night! Delicious.

Love your videos and can’t wait to try these recipes!
Thanks Lindsay! I'm happy to hear it 😊 Let me know which one you make first and what you think!
Another very good video! I really appreciate what you are offering on your channel. I find when I feel lazy and unmotivated to cook that your recipes/videos provide the gentle inspiration I need to get back on track. Everything is presented so well and seems so accessible that I want to make something, instead of just watching while I eat popcorn.
Great! I'm gonna try these, I too often just steam rice and veggies with no technique.
needed these recipes! thank you!
My pleasure! So glad you enjoyed it!
The tacos look amazing and easy. It’s funny I always want to make them but don’t because I feel like I need 15 ingredients. You make it look doable! Also, that “tuna” melt looks amazing! Please make more of these quick and nutritious dinners. I am definitely that person who loves to cook but is often too tired to tackle something that takes an hour. Also, this video had an artsy/vintage vibe that I love!
Yum I want to make all of these! Ps your skin is luminous ✨
Aw thanks! I’m sitting in front of a big light so that helps lol
LOOKS DELICIOUS! And easy Hiiiii! 👀I hope you're having an AMAZING day! Cheers 💚💚💚
Show us that 100k YT award!!!
Tuna melt is a new thing to me, making it
Ooooh girl that chickpea tuna melt is calling my name, but all the recipes look truly amazing!!!
Nikki really does have the best content..you're so creative and have the BEST ideas! literally no one else i watch makes me want to make every single thing like your videos do! perfect for work days, actually going to make a tuna sandwich with your recipe before work tonight :) thank you!
woah that tuna melt 😛😛😛
Hard choice to pick a first one.. mmm, the bean wraps!
Nikki, I've really loved the recipes. I'm from Brazil and the way we eat it's very different from you guys from U.S. That's why I like so much your videos, 'cause they bring me totally new ideas. Thank you!
Beautiful soul
Hi Nikki, I love all your recipes! 😀👍🏻 What vegan sour cream brand do you recommend?
Daniela B
I like Tofutti, for both sour cream and cream cheese spread, and they seem to be available in most grocery stores.
Thank you for providing sensible vegan options to the cooking challenged like myself. Could you baked the tofu dish with the miso glaze?
Hi Nikki! Thank you for the video and recipes, I am looking forward to the tofu with the sauce!
There is something weighing very heavy on my heart and mind and I am wondering if you might be able to give me some advice? I have to take a lot of western medicine because I have a very rare cancer that I got when I was about 10 yrs old I am now 58 yrs old . I am very very fortunate to be alive and am incredibly grateful. I was exposed to Malathion when they sprayed our whole area and they told our parents to keep us in for about 1 hour after they were finished, then we could go play outside, within a year I had the beginnings of a very rare cancer that manifested on my skin.Long story. Bottom line is that I’ve been vegetarian and at various times macrobiotic for about 30yrs. I have been on an awesome journey that has been an amazing gift, unfortunately though I have in the past and do take medication now that I assume is tested or has been tested on animals. It is heartbreaking to think of and almost unbearable for me to be a part of. My compassion and empathy is why I don’t eat animals and all that that entails, but here I am taking medication, it’s so contradictory to who I am, yet I will die without it. My heart aches, my chest literally hurts, I’m soooooooo sad about my choice, I don’t think my life is more important than any other sentient being, I thought, but here I am having made that choice. I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and admire greatly your heart, mind and spirit. If you have any words of wisdom I would be so grateful❤️🙏🏼❤️Kathy
Kathy! I feel for you sweetie. You are doing all that you can from what you can control outside of taking the meds you need to survive on! Please don't beat yourself up over it. Intention is everything and I can tell that your heart is definitely in the right place. I wish you lots of light and well being! You are inspiring 🌻🌺
I absolutely love your video. Do you have any suggestions on what do get when doing takeout? (i.e., Chinese food, pizza, indian). Sometimes its so hard when going out to do dinner or doing takeout. Thank you!
喜欢你的视频！💕💕
Excellent video & recipe's. It was interesting that you used hummus instead of veganaise instead in the vegan tuna melt. I will definitely try the vegan tuna melt because I haven't eaten tuna since being vegan and hopefully never will.
I want to try the "tuna" melt first!
Omg this looks so good. Do you recommend that food processor? I see a lot of reviews on amazon that says it is very hard to clean
Yes! I use it all the time! I think I might have even reviewed it back in the day in an old video lol it’s not hard to clean at all if you get in the habit of rinsing it with warm water when you’re done using it before it gets a change to dry and stick on the blades. I just rinse it clean with warm soapy water and it’s good to go !
I love it for chopping things quickly. I’ve also used it to make my quinoa salads with nuts, and herbs, and vegan oatmeal. I’m not sure which video that’s in but I make it a lot. Also for my holiday nut roasts etc, so many things. It’s awesome but note, it is small so I sometimes do larger things in batches but I like that it’s small because I have a small kitchen ☺️
Excellent video (as usual!) But where can I find your recipe for the pickled cabbage?
that tofu tho 🤤
What brand is the Miso paste? And where did you find it? We don’t have miso ANYWHERE in my town so I will have to order it online most likely . You always inspire me to take the extra time to make something nourishing and not just eat vegan ice cream lol XO Davita
I swear you read my mind before you release videos lol
Great recipes- will definitely be trying some! What’s up with the no oil deal? Healthy fats are good and much needed for everyone, especially vegans! And they are absolutely necessary for pregnant and breastfeeding mom and small children (especially for healthy brain development).
Would cucumbers work in place of the celery for the tuna melt? It looks so yummy!!!!
Yeah! it would be different but still tasty! I would try to remove the seeds though so it doesn't make the chickpea tuna too watery 😊
@@NikkiVegan I will definitely try that! Thank you! 💕
The tacos.
Are these chickpeas from a can for the tuna melt ?
