Vegan Pecan Al Pastor Tacos

Serve up this authentic vegan Vegan Pecan Al Pastor Tacos recipe using pecans in place of meat.

Mealtime traditions are common among many families, from taco Tuesdays to weekend favorites. You can add a special touch to one of the most popular traditions – taco night – with a plant-based twist.

However, great taste is just the beginning – pecans pack a nutritious punch with a unique mix of health-promoting nutrients while shining in a wide range of flavor profiles.
