Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces (340 g / 12 oz) vegetarian ground meat substitute, thawed
  • 15 ounces (425 g / 15 oz) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 14.5 ounces (411 g / 14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained
  • 1 cup (240 ml) salsa
  • 0.5 cup (75 g / 2.65 oz) chopped onion, about 1 medium
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 10 flour tortillas, 6 to 8-inch size
  • 0.67 cup (75 g / 2.65 oz) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • Shredded lettuce, for serving
  • Sour cream, for serving (optional)
  • Always fill your slow cooker at least half full but no more than two-thirds full for even cooking. This prevents the food from drying out or cooking too slowly.
  • This filling is perfect for meal prep! Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop for quick lunches or dinners.
  • For an extra layer of flavor, add a teaspoon of cumin and a half teaspoon of chili powder to the slow cooker along with the other .
  • Get creative with your toppings! Sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, pickled jalapeños, or a squeeze of lime juice can elevate your tacos to the next level.

Method
 

  1. In a 3. 5 to 4-quart slow cooker, combine the thawed vegetarian ground meat, rinsed pinto beans, undrained diced tomatoes and green chiles, salsa, chopped onion, and minced garlic.
  2. Stir everything together.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and cook on the LOW setting for 4 to 6 hours, until the flavors have melded and the mixture is heated through.
  4. To serve, warm the tortillas. Spoon the filling evenly among them and top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, lettuce, and a dollop of sour cream, if using.
  5. Fold into tacos or roll into burritos and enjoy immediately.
