    Taco pie is a vegan lunch or dinner recipe. This delicious taco pie with a pie crust, tomatoes, bell pepper, corn, and vegan "meat" is a huge favorite at my house.

    INGREDIENTS IN A TACO PIE


    • Whole spelt flour: This is the base of the crust. To substitute, use whole wheat flour.
    • Vegan butter: This is for the crust. Any vegan butter would work as long as it´s a dairy-free alternative to regular butter.
    • Water: Start by adding one tablespoon of water when making the crust. If needed add one more.
    • Olive oil: Or other cooking oil.
    • White button mushroom: This is one of the ingredients for the "meat". However, to substitute use cremini mushrooms or portobello mushrooms.
    • Walnuts: For the "meat".
    • Smoked paprika powder: For flavor. To substitute use sweet paprika powder.
    • Cumin: For flavor. One of the ingredients in our taco seasoning.
    • Garlic powder: For flavor.
    • Onion powder: For flavor.
    • Salt and black pepper: To taste. Taste and adjust.
    • Red bell pepper: Yellow or green peppers can be used. I prefer red peppers.
    • Tomatoes: I used medium-sized tomatoes. Feel free to substitute using cherry tomatoes or other tomatoes you prefer.
    • Corn: Canned corn. Drained.
    • Vegan cream cheese: Use any cream cheese you like.

    TIPS FOR MAKING THIS RECIPE PERFECTLY


    • Make sure not to overprocess walnuts and mushrooms in a food processor. Overprocessing will result in a paste. We want small crumbly pieces (meat crumble-like texture).
    • When cooking walnut mushroom meat add more oil if needed.
    • Taste and add more salt and/or black pepper if needed. Adjust to your taste.

    Ingredients  

    • 1 ½ cup whole spelt flour
    • 125 gr vegan butter
    • ½ tsp salt
    • 2 tbsp water
    • 2 tbsp olive oil
    • 250 gr white button mushroom
    • 1 cup walnuts
    • 2 tsp smoked paprika powder
    • 2 tsp cumin
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 tsp onion powder
    • salt and black pepper to taste
    • 1 red bell pepper diced
    • 2 medium-sized tomatoes chopped
    • 3 tbsp canned corn drained
    • 1 cup vegan cream cheese

    Instructions

    • 1. Preheat oven to 440℉ (225℃).

    • 2. To make the crust, add whole spelt flour, chilled vegan butter, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

    • 3. Use your hands to work the butter into the flour gradually. Add the water and knead until dough starts to hold together.

    • 4. Press the pie dough out into the bottom and sides of the pan and bake for 10 minutes.

    • 5. While the crust bakes make walnut mushroom meat. Place walnuts and mushrooms into a food processor. Pulse until walnuts and mushrooms are processed into small pieces. Make sure not to overprocess.

    • 6. In a medium nonstick pan over medium-high heat, add your walnut mushroom mixture along with 2 tbsp oil.

    • 7. Add smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and black pepper to taste. Mix everything together until well combined.
      Cook for a few minutes, until mushrooms start to soften and mixture begins to brown.

    • 8. Spread evenly diced bell pepper, chopped tomatoes, and corn over the crust.

    • 9. Spread walnut-mushroom mixture over and top with cream cheese.

    • 10. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

    • 11. Serve with salsa and crisp green salad.
