"#sponsored Foodies! I have partnered with @vevan.foods and @thefeedfeed to bring you these Tofu Tikka Tacos made with Vevan’s 100% awesome, plant-based P’Jack-Melts cheese. Vevan’s cheese is created by artisan cheesemakers to give those who have gone dairy-free a chance to rediscover what they’ve been missing with the cheese’s gooey melt, sensational flavor, and perfect creamy texture. I was cooking for a friend who is lactose intolerant and hence Vevan Cheese fit right into my plans for her to enjoy these tacos and experience those gooey cheesy flavors and textures. I decided to melt the cheese on the tortillas ‘cause this cheese is so good that you have to have it in every bite and add some extra melted cheese on top. ‘Cause, you know, who doesn’t like more CHEESE!! My 100% plant-based dinner for my friend was sorted with these vegan, lactose-free, and gluten-free Tacos!
So head over now to an LA Costco near you and pick up your Vevan stack packs!!
