On this episode of #SaturdaySnackdown Erin Riley-Carrasco, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)’s Sexiest Vegan Over 50 shares her delicious recipe of black bean and corn taquitos with vegan Chipotle Sauce in honor of Cinco de Mayo! Enjoy! #JaneUnchained

I am feeling festive so in honor of Cinco de Mayo, I made these authentic black bean and corn taquitos filled with orange bell peppers, onion, vegan mozzarella cheese and fresh garlic. These are SO easy to make and take only 20 minutes in the oven to cook! Finished off by making some homemade chipotle sauce and layered with my favorite toppings. Filled with plant protein goodness and no cholesterol! It feels great to be VEGAN! ENJOY! #veganmexicanfoood #crueltyfreefood #nocholesterol #dairyfreefood #vegancomfortfood #letscookvegan #vegana #plantbasedprotein #veganfoodshare #compassionbeginsonyourplate #noanimalsharmed #saturdaysnackdown #janeunchained
