Vegan Chicken and Kimchi Tacos with Cantaloupe
I was recently presented with an Iron Chef – style challenge by Beyond Meat… The ingredients in the virtual basket were any Beyond Meat product, lettuce, radishes, tomatoes, cantaloupe and kimchi. My brain went immediately to tacos.
My plan was to grab all the ingredients at Whole Foods but after learning they were out of stock on kimchi, I headed to the Asian market where there was an entire section devoted to the product. I had no idea there were so many varieties! And some contain fish, so watch out for that. I ended up going with a mild version of basic kimchi. Adjust your kimchi selection in accordance with your preferred level of heat.
