Welcome to episode 3 of Easy Vegan Meals Under $10. This is without a doubt the best recipe of the series thus far. Crispy black bean tacos are great, shredded bbq tofu is delicious, but this dish feels gourmet. Savory, creamy, garlicky, loads of aromatics and spice. This dish has it all. It’s pretty fancy for a weeknight dinner but the prep is really simple. Let’s get into it:
