Hispanic food is some of the best type of food around. I mean “real” Hispanic food, not “Taco Bell.” I grew up loving the Hispanic culture and even had a chance to visit Mexico a couple times. As much as I love the food, I am determined to make my own vegan versions of the cuisine I fell in love with.
The recipe I adapted was inspired by edibleperspective.com. Their dish looked amazing but when I chose to make it, I didn’t have the ingredients and had to adjust it with what I had. It turned out to be super yummy and really quick to make.
Enjoy.

If I’m not a kale fan what would you recommend in its place?
You can use fresh organic spinach, I am actually using that for the second time around. If spinach is out, I would swiss chard or collards.
