Easy Taco Bar and Vegan Taco "Meat"

Taco Meat: Grain Free/Gluten Free/Vegan/Soy Free

Today we had a fun filled family day at the zoo, so what better way to end the day than a fun food dinner!

We love Chipotle, but sadly we recently learned that many of the items we order are GMO products. We know that the vast majority of restaurants use GMO products, which is why we eat at home, almost always. Seriously, we dine out once or twice monthly, at most. The thing that upset us the most is that Chipotle promotes that they use fresh, healthy products.....I digress. My 6-year-old Prince has started an Against Monsanto YouTube channel. Here is his most recent video, where he expresses his sadness about losing Chipotle.

Let's get back to our fun food dinner. After the zoo we whipped up and easy peasy Taco Bar.

Are taco bar consisted of the following items: Organic taco shells and organic tortilla chips, homemade guacamole, homemade salsa, dairy and vegan cheese, chopped green leaf lettuce, freshly cooked black beans (they were in the crockpot when we were at the zoo), cilantro-lime-jasmine rice and our delicious taco "meat."

The Prince loved walking around the "bar" and making his own taco! King Dad and I did too. Can you see the cute little trays we made our tacos in? The Prince picked those out from the dollar section at Target, and hubs lined them with parchment paper while I set up the food. Such easy to clean up!
