One can of chickpeas will change how you think about Taco Bell.. I mean how hard is it to replicate taco bell meat? Its not, this incredibly easy chickpea recipe replicates the taste, texture, and soggyness of taco bell ground beef perfectly, using only plants.. and I'll be honest here, its really good!

Better help sucks. The "therapists"where unprofessional and predatory. When I refused certain things because they made things worse for me they threw temper tantrums and told me to stop making excuses and do it. When I still refused and said again why they dropped me leaving me without a therapist for months at a time and forcing me to start over with someone new which was extremely stressful. After this happening SIX times in one year I gave up on better help.
And that's not even getting into how they sell vulnerable people's data to advertisers and social media platforms.
I’m sorry that happened to you. You should check out Open Path Collective after you pay to join their collective. They act as your insurance and they have people who take as low as $30 a session.
I agree, I had a terrible time with BetterHelp. I think it’s great that therapy is becoming more accessible especially online but I found them to be predatory and unprofessional like you said. Really frustrating.
Mine spent the entire 2 hours (2 seperate 1hr sessions) talking about her own self. Which was extremely selfish since my husband and I our marriage was literally hanging by a thread coming to these people for help and paying to hear about your therapists problems. Like I kid you not, we got a few words in both times and then it was all her. Then she wondered why we quit with her 🙄😒
Either six separate therapists all had the same problem, in roughly the same way...or you were being unreasonable. Occam's Razor tells us which is more likely.
Just made these while husband was out of the room.
After he ate his 1 st one he asked me to fix him a 2nd taco. And told me to put lots of meat on it. lol. He still doesn’t realize it isn’t meat.
This was a great recipe. Thank you for posting
That's great! You may be able to slowly create and serve a few meatless dishes. He won't know, and yet so much better health wise.
I love using Braggs liquid aminos instead of soy sauce. Did the switch years ago, same taste but I think it's a better thing to use.
Even used it to fill the old soy sauce bottle for the ex since he didn't want to use my "hippy juice". No, he never noticed the difference. Yes, I still laugh about it. 😂
Yeah don't ever tell him😊
@@lucyleary4356 😉. I have actually made these twice now. I am glad I found this recipe
"I made garbage food and my family loves it"
I really like that you kept in the mistakes and didnt try to hide them. It really made this feel authentic. Great video!
I kind of disagree. Keep the mistakes as edit-ins but he should be taking the time to do it correctly to show us the correct result. It comes off as quantity over quality video production.
@RaumBances you can disagree all you want but usually someone will learn from someone's mistake if it's shown, instead of just talked about.
or he just copies random recipes and never cooked this before... so why would you follow this recipe when he never tasted it? Looks hella amateurish..
@@yingyangyolo9343 why are you here?
I actually know him irl
On the thin cream tip: if it's too thin it generally means that the oil was added too quickly. Start over with new aquafaba and, dribble in the loose one, while slowly blending, to thicken it. Also, add about a T of whole chickpeas in when you blend the aquafaba. They help a lot with thickening. Thanks for your content! It's helped with my transition to plant-based.
@differentkim Thanks for the tips!
So I dont have coconut oil can i use olive oil using the same method ??
@@daughterofChrist0420 I mostly use avocado oil because I don't want everything to taste like coconut. So, olive oil would work too.
I always use cashews for the cream with a bit if vinegar or lemon for tartness. I bet you could use the aquafaba with cashews to get a cream that holds up better.
I don’t like the heaviness of cashew cream its hard to describe
Your ideas for chickpeas are honestly endless, I am always so impressed! It is really SUCH a versatile legume you could make not only wonderful dishes highlighting them as an ingredient but also use them as a basis for so so many other ideas - from cheese and mayo, through "meat" up to desserts. I love how these tacos turned out and I definitely feel inspired to make some at home!
Thank you so much Margaret!!! This one came out really great. I was thinking about it after I made a batch of my carrot “meat”
I might try something similar in a bolognese type dish
I always chuckle at RUclipsrs responding in advance to the stupid comments they know they’ll get. The whiney comments must be so ridiculous! So silly. You’re doing great, another great video 😃
hahaha its pretty funny to me! Its like guaranteed
It's not "whiney" to point out misleading and/or incomplete headlines, which are common on RUclips, unfortunately.
@@CJinMonoif you have to "convince" other people that you're whining, might as well give up.
I know, right. I read the comments sometimes and have to wonder why these people even watching the videos of the person they're whining about. I mean, who has the time to watch videos they don't like and whinge about them in the comments? 😅
yeah just like the stupid one you just made
It was so funny when Monica put the taco back down This looks great
hahahah she just doesnt like tacos.. I knew that, and hoped her reaction would be as funny as it was!
I make a thick vegan yogurt that I use as sour cream. It thickens and sours on its own. I use 1/4 cup of my previous batch of yogurt (or use store bought), one container of silken tofu, half a cup of raw cashews, and one cup of water.
I blend it up, and put it into two mason jars with the lids on loosely. Then I let it sit them my microwave for a few hours, until it thickens and sours to my liking.
Gonna try this. Thank you! 🙏
Plain yogurr is awesome, adding parsley...
This honestly looks AWESOME!! And so much healthier. I think you could have just told us it was a sour cream 'sauce' and we wouldn't have known the difference LOL. LOVE your channel so much! So many great ideas. I am glad that you've been doing some less 'sciency' recipes lately. I'm not one with the time or money to buy a bunch of one tine or few time expensive ingredients, ya know what I mean? Your channel is a great blend. Thank you so much!!
Can we have the secret of the Taco Bell black bean seasoning? Someone help 😂
I need to figure that out!!!
@@SauceStache I'm sure that [voiceover Mark] *MSG* is involved.
I cannot help recreate Taco Bell black beans, although I agree with tamcon72 that msg is probably involved. Taco Bell black beans are surprisingly good for fast food, but you can do better! I'll usually start from some diced onion, caramelized, for sweetness, before adding the beans. Saute something hot in there also, if you want heat, and garlic. If you're in a hurry, onion powder, garlic powder, and crushed red peppers can work fine - don't try to caramelized the onion powder of course - and while you're using powders, some paprika won't go astray either. I add some kind of umami flavor, whether Marmite, Vegemite, Better than Bouillon No Beef, Plant Basics beef flavor, or just soy sauce - since I'm usually pairing black beans with a TVP "beef" substitute, I'll usually use soy sauce for a slightly different flavor. A surprising depth can come from a bit of balsamic to add acid, and a bit of tomato paste. If you didn't caramelized onions, a very little sweetener goes a long way at the end to bring everything together: sugar, blackstrap molasses, even maple syrup, just don't overdo it and make it dessert, lol. And a dash of MSG still can't hurt!
@@docAvid314 Thanks for this very detailed comment!
Love this idea! Thank you!
With all the water in mushrooms as seen, processing them turns into a paste. Mushrooms should be chopped and cooked separately. Then add into the chick pea mixture. Do not process the hemp seeds as well. That texture is needed. No need to wait over night. It will be ready to go.
I bet you could make the sour cream thicker without any thickeners if you changed the process. Same ingredients but make it with the process like an aquafaba mayo-Minimalist Baker has a good recipe-basically slowly emulsifying the oil into the unblended aquafaba until thick, then mixing in the other ingredients. I think the critical flaw was either whipping up the aquafaba prematurely or trying to blend in solid oil.
Totally! You're correct, this was a mistake on my part.. I was going a different rout and it didnt work out how I wanted.
We purchased the three top Vegan Sour Creams in the contest on this channel and we mixed all three together, and it was awesome. I also used half of the mix to make Vegan Sour Cream and Onion chip dip. I use two different types of organic powdered onion and two different organic powdered garlic and some cilantro. No need for salt as all three of the Vegan Sour Creams have salt in them. I am glad he made it from scratch in this video as we fly through sour cream and sometimes, we are out, but usually have a couple cans of Organic Chickpeas.
Really appreciate you still keeping in the mishaps & mistakes. Makes it that much more authentic. Thanks for sharing your recipe & experience!
" I think I remember what Taco Bell tastes like" This is a world I can not fathom lol
hahahah I know right. I ate too much of it to forget
I can. Never cared for Taco Bell.
I thank you for including mistakes + fixes! So helpful.
This looks so good! Were going to try it this weekend! Thank you! 🎉❤
Ahh you're going to lovee it!!!!
Love this channel hope it never changes
Thank you
When I saw that drippy cream, it reminded me that taco bell tacos were always wet, if you ever got the hard shell tacos, the shell was soggy and falling apart so fitting that it was a wet taco too
you've been my fave channel to watch while eating for years now. thanks for another great vid 😎
Foregers plain organic cashew yogurt is a good sub for the "sour cream"
I make my own yogurt. I could use that. Thanks for the idea!
This looks great, and I'm definitely going to try it, especially since there's nothing you used that isn't in my pantry (unlike a decent number of your culinary creations) and this could be a "Sunday cooking night" that would provide me work lunches for Monday - Wednesday. Thanks!
I LOVE the new Daiya cheese, it melts amazing. Another great recipe Mr. Vegan Scientist lol
Thank you!!!!!
Thank you so much for these recipes!!
I love the content you create! How do you even get all these ideas on meat alternatives??
We make something like this at home, but we make ours like the Taco Bell “Double Decker Supreme”! It’s awesome! I can’t wait to try this new “meat” recipe. Also, we just use plain soy&cashew yogurt as our sour cream. Can’t really taste the difference in my opinion. Thanks for another great recipe!
This looks really good...I can't wait to make it!!!
I like that this includes all the mistakes and documentation of when it went wrong. But also that you salvaged them
I think it is best to get a decent reaction on something she usually 'dislikes'. That's gold.
Really appreciated you leaving in rhe examples of how it looks when you've done too much - i find it helpful :)
Authentic Taco Bell experience. I just got that.😂
hahahah
What I got out of this is the chickpea/mushroom filling. I would make other adjustments to the rest of the recipe but I like the concept.
But I'm sure I'd like it and im.gonna make it today. I usually make the walnut and mushroom method
IT came out pretty dang good... I really enjoyed it!! Hope you do too!
Taco Bell is missing a huge opportunity not having these on the menu.
This looks really good! I will have to try this. I have some ideas on the sour cream. I'll let you know how it works out
Yes!! Give it a try, let me know what you find out with the cream!
omg, this looks wonderful!!!!!
Thank you!!! it came out great!!! I hope you enjoy it!!
Thank you for sharing. Looks delicious.
Here's a tip for a garlic sauce: soak 1 cup of cashews in hot water for 30 minutes. Then rinse them. Blend the cashews with 1-2 garlic cloves, 1/3 teaspoon of salt, 1-2 teaspoons of lemon juice with half a cup of water. That will make a very thick sauce. If it's too thick, add some more water, a little at a time and blend until you get the consistency you like. Store in an air-tight glass jar in the fridge. It lasts for like 4-5 days. You can replace the garlic with other spices and herbs too of course.
I made this. Delicious!
@@susanwerner9961 Glad you liked it! :)
Lucky Monica tasting all that great food you make!
That looks delicious, will try it for sure, thanks.
I want to try this recipe. Thanks
I do the Miyoko crumbles mix..it's amazing dry mix to play....and I use pepita for nut sub....
Thank you for a taco meat recipe! It can be easily tweaked w/other seasonings! I saved this episode to try soon!
Looks so yummy!!
QUESTION PLEASE. You use coconut oil like i used to before my recent blood work. I was told the culprit was the "tropical oils". I'm not 100% convinced. Have you heard this?
I'm always waiting for the Monica test!
It’s my favorite part
I would love this on a crunchwrap supreme!
I was so close to doing a crunchwrap and making the cheese too!! ugh I wish I would have now!
@@SauceStache
Part 2 with the cheese being the star of the video.
There's about 100 veganised crunchwrap supreme recipes online.
this is fantastic! thank you!
Thanks for sharing💜💜💜
any ideas for pantry-free alternatives on the mushrooms? it looks nice to cook if there's nothing in the fridge but stuff in the pantry
I really appreciate showing your process and showing the mistakes you made. It's actually very helpful.
An anxiety/stress ad on a vegan can of chickpeas meal in the middle of winter is a bit on the nose lol, love it
Too bad they’re such a shitty mental health service according to most people who’ve used them 💀
I’ve spent far too much time replying to comments on this video lol. Thank you for the great video and the Taco Bell meat substitute idea! Will have to try this! Good luck with future RUclips endeavors and if I could offer two pieces of advice I would say don’t worry so much about replying to comments, I can’t imagine it’s very good for your mental health (oh the irony coming from the person who just spent the last hour replying to countless RUclips comments on this very video) and do worry a little bit more about the people you accept sponsorships from. While I do believe you when you say you’ve had a great experience with BH you also are clearly ignoring the numerous comments on your video from other users who have had bad experiences and not to mention the thousands of other users who have voiced complaints online beyond your community. Anyway wish you the best of luck in the future
LOL, I just realized that Sauce Stache is using an Adam Ragusea knife in this vid. Awesome!
I’ve been using it for a while!! It’s a great knife!!
I actually like the kinda runny consistency of the cream, it’s kinda like a dairy-free Mexican crema!
Thats usually the constancy I go for... this was slightly thinner than crema... BUT after resting for 1 more day it had the perfect crema consistency!
I'll be glad when they get all these wonderful recipes in store bought form for those of us who are older and am sick of cooking.😊
Classic sauce stache, this is what I'm here for
@saucestache Loved this! Veggies and protein and soy free, so exciting, truly. I actually like the look of the consistency, reminded me of ground beef!
I have to try this meat sub. Look delicious. TFS
We tried this, mostly. We are not vegan, or even Vegetarian. He doesn't like mushrooms, so we did 1/2 mushrooms and 1/2 tofu. Then seasoned as we would beef tacos, only thing we added was a little salsa. They were amazing! We basically decided we will use this for tacos from now on. ❤
What style of tofu did you use? I would think the silken would make it kinda creamy, so maybe extra firm? Maybe he could've added some silken tofu to his sour cream mix to thicken it up.
This is worthy of a video.
Cook that exact taco meat recipe for the taco meat, then use Jack Fruit and make in a separate pan what is like BBQ pulled Chicken. Then mix the two together after cooking them separately. When you make your BBQ Sandwich, add your two favorite BBQ sauces, Dill Relish and cheese. I suggest slightly toasting the buns on a frying pan. Best BBQ sandwich that is vegan you will ever have. I use Heinze Dill Relish in the squeeze bottle as it is lower in sodium. 75mg of sodium compared to 150 to 200mg of the other type of dill relishes on the shelf.
Something about cooking them separate and then mixing them and simmer for just 3 or 5 minutes mixed. Back when I was eating a lot of meat, I would make ground beef like Taco meat and in a separate pan make pulled BBQ chicken and then mix them, simmer just a few minutes and then make BBQ sandwiches on toasted buns. I called it Adulterated BBQ Sandwiches, but at the family reunion I called it 50/50 BBQ, as I used two different meats.
Hope people try this, it really sets the BBQ sandwich above others and meat eaters would never know it is vegan unless you tell them.
Just made this recipe and it was delicious! For the sour cream I added 1 tbsp of cornstarch and brought it to a boil for one minute, then chilled it overnight in the fridge. If came out nearly the consistency of sour cream. I also used Hatch taco sauce vs Taco Bell, which is an upgrade. Thanks for your great videos!
So you made basically as he did it but just added the cornstarch? Cooked it all of it together , brought to a boil? That sounds like it might work.
Those look 🎉 I'm making the chickpea meat tomorrow. I love that you guys can be honest with each other.
That was nothing short of amazing.
Heat the tortillas on a hot pan flipping a few times to heat and soften- way tastier! Yummers.
If you have a gas stove do it directly on the flame!
What immersion blender do you use?
I wouldnt use liquid sauce. Dry veggie soup mix would be better for me otherwise too wet
I love Monica's honesty lol 😋
Cook time: 1 hour
Prep time: 16 hours.
That's a hard pass
To your cream. Maybe adding raw garlic would help with the emulsion
Boom!! Great tip!!
Question: if you were to add Xanthan gum, or corn starch, to address the runny sour cream substitute you made, at what point would you add them? Thanks.
The only thing I ever missed about Taco Bell was the Hot sauce and now I can get it in bottles in the store, so I'm good with using my own yogurt for sour cream and any other meat things I happen to want to use that day. 👍😁
Thanks!
Wow thank you soo much!!!!
not vegan but this actually looks kinda dope
I may try this out
This is really great! I don't eat a lot of fake meat, but I used it for burritos, and think it'll probably be a go-to recipe for them in the future
I love these peas so I would definitely try this, thank you! I made my own substitute for sour cream by mixing Greek yogurt with a little bit of lime juice and a little bit of salt, pretty good for me anyway.😁
Monica and Mark are so darling! I just love this couple. 😊
Aww thank you
This video was comedy gold, thank you RUclips algorithm god.
Do you know how the "egg white foam" (we call it Eischnee in Germany "Eggsnow"), behaves when heated? And how would you get it even more "firm"? I need an alternative for a German Cheesecake.
I don’t have coconut oil can I substitute with another oil?
Avocado oil would work well
I used to buy Daiya, now I buy Chao’s cheese. There’s also veganaise, which is very good! Also, I don’t know if you have a Kroger market there, but I buy their organic ketchup without high fructose corn syrup and mix that into my beef or “beef” when it’s almost browned!!!
You lost weight, you looking good my man! Keep Striving you’re an inspiration foreal
Can you put the ingredients list in the description plz?
I have not been a fan of Daiya cheese, though I LOVE their cheesecakes, and I appreciate that Daiya was one of the first vegan cheeses available. But the taste, ugh.
I will try this though, on your recommendation.
wondering if i could add a different oil to the food processor. Dont want to go out and buy coconut oil.
Do you know if you can freeze this "meat"? It's just me and I would like to make a batch or two and freeze.
Nice. I would use cheese cloth to squeeze out more liquid from the chickpeas and also microwave diced mushrooms to save on browning time of the "mince"...
Interesting 🤔 I will definitely give this a try, I like chickpeas. Hummus is my favorite snack.
Looks good. I bet it’s even better made with ground beef!
I'm waiting for you to make your version of Taco Bells Border Sauce!
Hey V sauce if you blend up a can of chickpeas with a beet, it looks damn near like sandwich spread, not to much beat or it'll turn purple, but that pink artificial look amd constincy of sandwich spread, then you have to add that smokey flavor and some pickle perhaps, anything else?
I'm allergic to coconut. What would be a good alternative. My biggest issue with a lot of vegan recipes is the use of coconut oil or coconut milk. I use almond milk instead of coconut milk, but I haven't found a good oil substitute for recipes like this.
As someone who has health problems eating meat and some dairy, i really appreciate seeing people's alternatives to classic meat and dairy foods. Otherwise, and i don't mind this because i love salads, but all i have are salads.
It's ironically funny that Sauce Stach added Taco Bell sauce to this recipe, but if it helps nail the taste, so be it.
Crunchwrap Supreme, here I come!
YES!!! I almost made a Crunchwrap for this video!! Im kicking myself now!
For that sour cream use soaked cashews real fine in the food processor
Great tip!!!
i never plan on completely removing meat from my diet but im always looking for healthier options to add to my meals. if it tastes good ill keep making it. ...and its not overly complicated to make. thats why i never got into making bread. takes too long.😂🤷♂
hahaha I always want to make my own bread and I have done it, I just never do it regularly so I feel ya!! This is much easier
Artisan Bread with Steve here on YT. I am a trained baker and 99% of the time I make his no knead recipes (I've converted many other yeast recipes to his method, also), which could not be easier. The rises take a long time, but you aren't doing anything to the dough during that time, and can live your life while waiting to bake the dough. It doesn't take a long time if you start in advance.
@@tamcon72Thanks!! I'll check out Steve. Nice to not always have to use yeast.
@@donnabacon4681 What I meant by my comment was that any traditional yeast recipe with a keanding step can be converted to a no-knead recipe (sourdough is a bit finicky with no-knead and quick breads don't require kneading). Steve's recipes use a minute amount of yeast compared to traditional yeast dough recipes, because instead of kneading, you just mix up the dough and then let it sit; this gives a tiny amount of yeast enough time to develop sufficient to act like a typical yeast amount. Sorry I wasn't clear!
Xanthan gum is a popular additive for thickening, suspending and stabilizing. And would be a easy fix for your vegan sour cream
"Looks like Taco Bell Meat" That's because it's not meat.
I have never had Taco Bell
but I am always looking for
things to do with chickpeas
I have them in so many things
hummus, "tuna mayo" and now taco meat.
Can't get the sauce here in the UK... :(
Oh bummer :/
