Easy vegan tacos | hot for food

it's john and lauren from hot for food and i'm john okay we're gonna make tacos today we need tacos like a lot they're just really easy to make and there's no rules so you whatever you like just put it in a freaking taco shell tacos let's talk let's talk about it yeah that's a joke that john says on the regular almost every day okay so what kind of tacos are we making john we're just doing ground beef because we have it um well ground round yeah ground round tons of veggies i'm gonna make a salsa like a fresco what do you call it i don't know fresca is that what they call it fresca i don't think you're making that up like uh whatever tomato salsa it's gonna be like diced tomatoes like chunky diced tomatoes you put a little bit of the water in from it some red onions cilantro lime juice salt i actually don't like when you put the water from the tomato in it because it's too watery and that soaks through the corn tortilla she's never told me that making tacos there isn't really a recipe to this we're just going to tell you what we're making but it's like very easy there's really nothing to it cut up some lettuce or greens cut up some jalapenos if you want make a really quick guacamole by mashing up an avocado putting lime juice salt and pepper and it's like just make as much as or as little as you need the key to flavoring your taco meat is to not just cook what you have and not add any flavoring i think you need to add chili powder and cumin and that's what really kind of gives it the taco flavoring you can even buy like taco spice in the spice aisle and then make it taste like tacos what's your first taco memory i don't want to talk about it actually talking about this just like reminded me of something that i otherwise would have just completely forgotten about i was born like 20 days late or something like that my parents anniversary was like five days before i was actually born so i'm now like a couple of weeks overdue at this point and they're like well we should still celebrate our reunion like where do you want to go and they're like let's go to mexican town so i'm ready to be born any day and they decide to go over to america to go to a spicy food restaurant because i guess doesn't that like a spicy food restaurant for tacos is that what they're getting okay this is funny that's why you like tacos so much yeah so they had tacos good thing i didn't like come out right then but like a couple of days later you did come out of a taco though that's disgusting he's gonna watch this too yeah your mom watches these oh my god that was the really hilarious joke yeah so they got mexican food and i bet you that's why why i came out liking tacos and why you like wearing a mustache why i like wearing a mustache when i met johnny at a mustache he looked mexican and i hate mustaches and i was like why am i so attracted to this guy with a mustache he's probably a douche i don't know if you guys have one of these at home but it's very handy a citrus squeezer confession i saw these on guy fieri's uh big bite on food network a long time ago when i was younger and i was like i want those so i went to winners and got them don't tell people i think that's a funny story i used to watch guy perry's big bite and diners drive-ins and dives i still like watching diners drive-ins and dives to see how disgusting the food is people are like it's so good we come here every weekend for home cooking and they're literally eating 10 pounds of lard i love that you can stick the pit of the avocado in your guacamole and it doesn't go brown don't tell them that it's like so weird that the avocado thinks it's intact when it's mashed up with a pit in it it's like communicating it's like the shell's communicating to the thing right now it's like it's like alien like it's like a pod and then the pit comes out which is like the core the center and it can live because its center is intact whoa that's like spiritual if you want to be real quick take vegan mayonnaise and make a quick aioli with more lime juice or lemon juice a little bit of garlic powder add dill add cilantro to it to make like a cream drizzle i made too much cilantro so let's make a cilantro cream sauce yeah okay who doesn't like cilantro out there you're crazy i heard that if you don't like cilantro if you have that like gene where you can't eat it you're actually a cereal killer so tortillas i saw this on like a buzzfeed internet thing they're so dry they're so dry so you're gonna take this i'm gonna put it in the oven on the rack like over the line yeah and i'm just gonna hope that and then are you hoping they're gonna be like those old el paso shells yeah that's what i'm hoping for kind of worked your taco idea look they just molded like that over the rack it was not my idea it was the internet's idea so the way i'm gonna do this you can make tacos however you want but i like the lettuce on the bottom to get the meat gets it hot nobody likes hot lettuce yeah i do no these look good yeah okay sorry don't put lettuce on the bottom then fine easy okay so here's the tacos they're really loaded and stuffed but you know just shove them in your mouth little known tip you take let's say you want to eat five tacos you make three and then on the plate you like keep extra like taco shells as napkins and then you put them down on the plate and then as you eat your taco it falls into it and makes another taco that's kind of a cool idea yeah taco napkins okay so we post videos every wednesday let us know if you like seeing john and i in the kitchen and i just say go at it however you want with your tacos freestyle them freestyle tacos
