I wanted to try something easy and different. This was both! Pretty tasty too.
Italian Tacos
Ingredients:
- 1-1/2 cups navy beans
- 1 cup of your favorite marinara or pizza sauce (I used 1/2 cup of the quick pizza sauce from Vegetarian Times with 1/2 cup of water - because it's REALLY thick - salt to taste and a couple squirts of agave to cut the acid of the strong tomato flavor)
- Crunchy Taco Shells
- Chopped/Shredded Romaine Lettuce
- Mozzarella Style Daiya
Directions:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, mix the navy beans and marinara sauce. Heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through and the sauce has thickened up a bit, about 10 minutes.
Put some of the bean mixture in each shell and top with Romaine and Daiya.

Since this was a pretty short post, now would be a good time to ask a question I've been wondering about. I was thinking about making myself a pdf of all the 1 food 5 ways posts so I'd have a hard copy of all these recipes complete with pictures. If I do that (after mofo is over of course), would it be helpful to make it available to you? Not for a charge, just to share.
Ciao!

I just love hard shell tacos! I like the twist of pizza sauce instead of salsa.
different, indeed - but the sound awesome and look great, Dawn! i'd never think to vary things up with tacos...now you've got me thinking about indian tacos, asian-themed tacos, maybe even something crazy like mediterranean tacos with quinoa tabouli + vegan tzatziki + cabbage 'n beans. oooh, the possibilites are endless. you are too awesome, my friend!
VA, I like the hard ones better than soft too! It's one time when being gluten-free is not a disadvantage
Jessy, I like the way you think. I so want Mediterranean Tacos now!! They would be a great way to use that new almond milk yogurt I just got!
Yummo, any type of tacos look good to me!
And I would like a pdf if it's not too much trouble :) I want to try everything you've shared throughout VeganMoFo!
