Vegan Tacos

Even if you are not Vegan, I promise you will love these tacos.   This recipe is from the Nutrition Stripped Cookbook and it is a crowd pleaser. Fresh Pico De Gallo and homemade cashew cheese makes these tacos complete. I make these often and usually have to double the recipe because they go so quickly.  Using romaine lettuce adds some greens to the meal and you can also make this dish into a taco bowl as well.  Happy Eating!
