Quinoa Black Bean Tacos (Vegan)

Several well-known Brooklyn wood-fire pizzerias have made this easy brick-oven pizza recipe renowned. Ice-cold pilsner-style lager beer goes best with this dish.

Flavor pretty good. The fact that the filling is very saturated is a turn-off. Am wondering if adding cooked quinoa would help and perhaps forgoing the tomato sauce.
William Gray
Tasted delicious in a large flour tortilla topped with onions, cilantro, and sour cream. As other commenters suggested, I used 1 can of tomato sauce and 1 cup of water. It came out a little soupy, but tasted amazing!
Bethany Lee
Made this for my vegan friend but it was a hit with everyone. Great flavor and texture! Will definitely be making again. I did let it simmer for longer to let the liquid boil off and it was perfect for our soft tacos topped with lettuce, salsa and avacado.
Cathy Taylor
All 6 of us in our family loved it. A couple of my kids are pretty picky eaters and they were pleased with this vegan substitute from our normal Taco Tuesday meals using beef.
Tina Myers
I agree with the other reviewers–too much liquid. I would say have some of the tomato sauce and water on standby. Then you can add more when you need it.
Yvonne Murray
I made this for my family. Even my vegan-resistant daughter approved! She, my husband and I gobbled them up!
Carolyn Taylor
Still too thin, and I only used 1 can of tomato and 1 cup of water
Logan Bennett
I’m vegan and my family is not. But everyone loved it. Would definitely make it again. I also took tips from other reviews and lowered the amount of water.
Rachel Campbell
I make this all the time. It’s easy and delish. I put a bit less water and smash up the black beans some to more closely mimic taco filling, but otherwise- perfection!
Anita Griffith
soo good!!
Monica Hayes
Thought it was really good, will make again. I agree with other reviewers that the amount of water should be decreased.
Nicole Dodson
Excellent!
Sharon Fernandez
This was great! Made as dictated. We also made some simple guacamole to eat with them. Soooo good. Thank you!
Timothy Burton
It was very good. Everybody enjoyed it. It had a nice heavy feel to it, which I value in a meat-substitute.
Daniel Anderson
Way too much liquid, even though I decreased the water to 1 cup as one reviewer suggested. Flavor was good. Texture was good. Just too much liquid. I will make this again with some revisions, either less water, or one less can on tomato sauce.
Laura Walker
I served this to friends as part of a taco bar. Everyone liked it.
Tracy Gonzalez
Love this recipe! I will never eat ground beef tacos again! I am not a vegetarian or vegan but my son is and that’s how I came across this recipe. It’s super easy, tasty and I love that it’s so healthy for me.

I made this for my company’s veggie taco bar, and it was such a big hit! Everyone that tried it loved it, and I had many requests for the recipe. Very easy to make and worth the time to make it!
