Vegan Beyond Beef Tacos

Beyond Meat’s “Beyond Beef” is packed with protein and is lower in fat than common ground beef. Try this plant-based and sustainable meat alternative for something new and delicious.

Beyond Beef has great texture and distinct flavor. Some consumers say the flavor of the unseasoned “meat” doesn’t work for them. I’ve discovered that seasoning it well is imperative. Adding sweet flavors from ingredients like honey, brown sugar, or even corn complements Beyond Beef incredibly well.
