I made a VEGAN Crunchwrap Supreme better than Taco Bell

Just like the Crunchwrap Supreme from Taco Bell but VEGAN! Layers of homemade vegan taco meat, vegan nacho cheese sauce, sour cream, guacamole, crispy tostadas, and more! My new favorite recipe that is a MUST-TRY!

I convinced Max to make an appearance in this video, but he had a price: make him this crunchwrap supreme at least twice a week 😂😋

[@coleenparsons4905]

Thank you Coleen! So happy you enjoyed the video :)

Just made this for dinner tonight and finished devouring it! It’s honestly the best tasting vegan recipe I’ve ever put in my mouth. My guest did not believe it was a vegan meal! That mushroom mince recipe is phenomenal!!!!!!!!! This is going to be my ‘recipe to impress’ whenever I have people denying vegan meals can be delicious! BRAVO! Thank you for sharing!

I'm so happy you loved it so much and thought it was the best vegan recipe you've tried! Makes me so happy to hear!

Two things: 1. We LOVE seeing Max!!! 2. I love seeing the process of how you try to create a recipe! I would love to see more raw video content like this!

Thank you Trent! I will send 1) along to Max :) And I'm so glad you enjoyed watching the recipe process and there will definitely more of this in the future!

[@sw1240]

I really enjoyed that you see some things don't work out as planned. I guess everyone makes this experience while cooking and it's nice to see that it's just normal...

We made this yesterday and I am STILL feeling so happy about it, it was beyond amazing!!! You are doing the Earth such a service, and we thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RabbitXoo]

I really appreciate you showing that the first version of the vegan sour cream that didn't work. It's helpful to know what doesn't work when trying to come up with recipes on the spot!

[@karennesbitt9655]

Definitely making this! Love how you were so honest in your video and kept in the part about the Tofu sour cream and your facial expression was priceless. Not all vegan recipes are a success. Nice to see your failures too! Note to self....I will not be trying that sour cream recipe anytime soon! LOL!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hi Karen! You are so sweet :) The tofu sour cream was not salvageable lol. And you're right! Not every recipe is a success, there are definitely some failures along the way!

Gonna try to make this with my Family ..not vegans , but I have lots of food sesnestivity issues 😋 Thanks look So yummy..I'M DEFINITELY Fan for Clean eating healthy habits...thanks 😊

[@bionance]

hey there - my mother, of all people - taught me this trick for faux hamburger meat - and it's brilliant! : simply freeze a block of firm tofu until its rock hard, then thaw it. once tofu has been frozen solid and then thawed it literally takes on the texture of a sink sponge. squeeze the water out - like a sponge! - and simply tear it up into bits, add flavoring, like taco seasoning, and sneak it right on in for hamburger. as long as it has a seasoning, or is in a sauce, like a tomato meat sauce, you will not be able to tell the difference. cheers! libby

[@Sarah-un3vk]

I can't tell you what I enjoyed more: watching this recipe or laughing out loud. you are so creative and funny1

[@MsShytown3]

Yes I agree

[@plantifuladventure]

This is the first time I've ever made a comment on a KZbin video, but oh my goodness - this recipe is soooo delicious! I first made it almost a week ago and I've made it everyday since! I ran out of tortillas today so just added the taco "meat", nacho sauce, and some salsa to some rice and a salad and it was delish! Nisha - you have an amazing talent for coming up with fantastic recipes! Thanks so much for sharing them with the rest of us!!

[@BeautyLoveSpirit]

Is this “Gourmet Makes” but vegan style!!? I’m here for it.

[@adanice49]

Another amazing video. Also for anyone who’s deciding on whether to get her cookbook, DO IT. It’s amazing. I’ve made at least 10 different recipes and they all turned out fantastic (something I can’t say with other cookbooks/recipe blogs). The Tofu Tikka Masala is probably my favourite, but the vegan queso is like liquid gold. I honestly never thought I’d make my dad and sisters like tofu or beans this much

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hi Adan! How sweet are you! I am so grateful for your support and so happy you and your family enjoy my cookbook so much. That's such lovely feedback to hear :)

[@dabirb]

It's really is one of the best! My husband lives for the lentil shepherd pie

[@MTheo-ms8oe]

The cook book reffers only to people having an instant pot?

[@OracleofZissyx]

I agree 100% Also very user friendly if you're not familiar with the instant pot.

[@buckets212]

Unfortunately, I have to disagree. Of the four recipes I've made so far, three wound up in the garbage. The cauliflower with millet, for example, had the texture of concrete.

[@Dylonce58]

Why is watching this way more satisfying than the cooking videos that are like super artsy and try super hard to be perfect!? Loved it.

11:47. I’ve tried other vegan sour creams and almost gagged on them. Tofutti is by far the best, the closest to regular sour cream. (I’m Jewish; I grew up on sour cream, so let’s say I’m a maven on the stuff.)

[@kerrimerlotboutin157]

This was absolutely amazing!! My meat eating family loved it. For a gluten free version I used chickpea wraps which are smaller so it was an open faced crunch wrap.

[@rcwjnh]

I can’t believe this video is only 17 minutes long. It took me about 2 hours to make this! And I used store bought dairy free sour cream and guacamole. The cheese and meat substitute alone was a real chore. I would have been really P!$$ed if it didn’t turn out good after all that work! It was, thankfully, better than good. It’s great! 😅 Next time I will double the meat recipe so I can have more later. There is plenty of the cheese, but I am going to wish I had more meat leftover tomorrow.
