Lettuce wraps filled with Beyond Meat crumbles, chopped onions, peppers, mushrooms, cilantro, salsa, and avocado are the ultimate spin on southwestern fare. Load up on tasty plant-based ingredients and dive into a healthier version of the classic taco. If you haven't tried Beyond Meat before, you're in for a surprise–this plant-based meat tastes just like the real thing and has the consistency of actual beef crumbles. When you cook it, all you need is about five minutes for the meatless filling to cook through.
