Chicken Taco Surprise
Sneaky, stealthy cook that I am, I decided to try out some Gardein products on my husband, without telling him, and was met with great success! When eating vegan I had heard of Gardein’s different veggie-in-meat’s-clothing products, but hadn’t tried any. While in the frozen food aisle at Whole Foods I noticed their Crispy Tenders and figured the breading would mask any hint of fakery. I made tacos with fresh whole wheat tortillas, avocado mashed with store-bought tomatillo salsa, and black beans and cilantro. I sprinkled just a bit of shredded smoked cheddar with cracked black pepper–it was a delightful lunch on a delightful weekend afternoon, and the best part was my husband had no idea he wasn’t eating chicken until I told him! We still eat meat occasionally, but it is nice to know there are yummy alternatives out there. What can I fool my husband with next, soy cheese?
Hubby, enjoying his lunch surprise.
