Make These Vegan Shawarma Tacos With Sumac Tofu

Make These Vegan Shawarma Tacos With Sumac Tofu

Vegan shawarma inspired tacos! This idea popped into my head the last time I was eating tacos, and I’m so glad it turned out exactly the way I envisioned it! It’s a fusion between tacos and Lebanese and Middle Eastern cuisine! A weird mix for some, but I’m telling you, it works!

For those that have never tried it before, shawarma is a Middle Eastern dish that typically consists of roasted meat cut into thin slices. This veganized version uses seasoned tofu in place of the meat.

The sumac tofu in this vegan shawarma taco recipe is seasoned with oregano, nutritional yeast, sumac, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, lemon juice, dill, oil, and red wine vinegar.

The tacos feature cucumbers, pickles, turnip, Lebanese garlic sauce, and lettuce. Yum!

I know I will make this recipe again! Next time I’ll add Kalamata olives to make them even better! Why not add Mediterranean flavors to the mix?!

I hope you guys like it!
