Kim Kardashian West’s Plant-Based Tacos

While we were visiting KKW’s home to shoot her walk-in fridge, we spoke with her chef, Marina Cunningham, who gave us the exact recipe for Kim’s plant-based tacos. Chef Marina said she typically makes the vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free tacos for Kim about once a week and that Kim prefers hers without cilantro and lime.

Kim Kardashian West’s Plant-Based Tacos

Recipe Type:Lunch or Dinner

Dietary Info:Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free

Serving Size:8 people (2 tacos each)

Prep Time:10 minutes

Cook Time:20 minutes

Total Time:30 minutes

Ingredients:

For the “meat”:
1 tablespoon avocado oil
2 pounds Beyond Meat plant-based ground “beef”
2 tablespoons cumin
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt (more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup water (more as needed)
2 tablespoons organic ketchup
2 tablespoons agave

For the tacos:
Avocado oil
16 Siete brand cassava or almond flour tortillas
Violife Just Like Cheddar Shreds
Dairy-free sour cream (such as Kite Hill or Follow Your Heart brand)
Diced tomatoes
Finely shredded lettuce
Sliced avocado
Cilantro (optional) *Kim prefers without cilantro
Small diced white onion (optional)
Salsa (optional)

Instructions:

1. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet, preferably cast iron. Once very hot, add the ground “beef.” Brown the grounds and break up with a wooden spatula for crumbles. Add the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Once the “meat” is browned, add water, ketchup, and agave. Turn heat to medium-low and continue to simmer until cooked through and most of the liquid has evaporated. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

2. In a smaller shallow skillet, add enough avocado oil to just coat the bottom of the pan. Heat over medium heat and then add a tortilla; it should puff up and bubble with a few light brown spots. Flip to cook the other side for about 15 seconds, remove, and place on paper towels. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

3. Assemble your tacos with the tortilla shells, taco crumbles, dairy-free cheddar shreds, dairy-free sour cream, diced tomatoes, and shredded lettuce. Add onions, cilantro, and salsa if desired.
