This recipe has been a regular at the Love Chard Headquarters since it first made it’s debut!
Rich with flavor, this dish will sure be a winner. If you don’t have taco seasoning on hand, don’t worry–we have you covered with two easy no-salt taco seasoning recipes ready for you to whip up.
Wheat berries are a variety of whole wheat and in the grain family. You can find them in most grocery stores, most often in their health food section for about $1.70 per pound. The wheat berries provide a texture that is perfect for a taco”meat.” We have substituted them for farro, an ancient whole grain, and they had a similar texture and were just as good! Farro runs anywhere from $3.50 a pound to over $10 per pound. Savings wise, wheat berries are a much better buy.
Another key ingredient in this recipe is coconut aminos. This is a soy-free seasoning sauce derived from coconut sap. Available in most health food section of grocery stores for around $7 per bottle. It can easily be swapped for liquid aminos, a low sodium soy-sauce, or another low sodium soy sauce of your choice. Coconut aminos is mild so if using liquid aminos I would suggest to use half of the measurement since it’s much stronger.
Serve in a whole wheat or whole grain corn wrap. We also enjoy this dish over a bed of romaine then topped with taco favorites such as tomatoes, onions, corn, black beans, peppers, salsa, avocado, lime, cilantro. Oh, and don’t forget the Nutritarian Sour Cream!
Simmer all ingredients in a saucepan on medium heat for 15 minutes.
Add additional water if needed.
