Baked Chipotle Plant Based Tacos

Dinner, Lunch

I just love Mexican food because of the bold flavor.  This past weekend I made these bold and delicious Baked Chipotle Plant Based Tacos.  They were spicy and full of flavor.   Some of my key ingredients included plant based meat crumbles, white onion, jalapeno peppers, vegan cheese and red bell peppers.  I topped off my tacos with a cilantro ranch dressing that really enhanced the flavor of this Mexican dish.
