How to build a vegan taco bar collage: pinto beans, salsa, chipotle mayo, and vegan tacos.

Build a Vegan Taco Bar!

At our house, we love doing taco bars since everyone can choose their own favorite toppings. Taco Bars are also great when you have dinner guests with different dietary needs. Below I've included some of my favorite components for building a taco bar.

Just choose 2 to 3 proteins and 4 to 6 salsas and toppings. Then warm up your tortillas of choice, set everything out on a buffet or the center of the table, and let the feasting begin!

Are these recipes gluten-free?

Most of these recipes are already gluten-free. A few things to watch out for are tortillas and chips (choose corn tortillas over flour) and soy sauce (choose gluten-free soy sauce or tamarind sauce).

Are these recipes nut-free?

Most of them are already nut-free. In the case of the chipotle mayo and cashew queso, you can substitute with sunflower seeds.

Salsas & Sides

No Mexican feast is complete without an array of plant-based salsas, toppings, and sides. These add the perfect touch of spice, creaminess, and flavor to your mains. Sometimes they're already vegan and sometimes they need a little tweaking, but they're always delicious!
