If you’re looking for a dinner recipe that is complete in 30 minutes or less then stick around I have the perfect one for you. These chipotle plantain tacos are a new favourite of mine! I’m a big fan of quick and easy dinner ideas. Who wants to spend hours in the kitchen when you have a million other things you could be doing?

It’s a great vegan option for those who are in search of a satisfying veggie-based meal that’s healthy and filling. One of the best things about these plantain tacos is how flavourful they taste with minimal ingredients. The spicy, smokey, aromatic flavours are drawn together by subtly sweet undertones of the plantain.
