Vegan Taco Hand Pies
Fair warning - math enthusiasts everywhere will be celebrating with pie this week, because March 14 is Pi Day, or 3.14. If you are a regular spabettie reader, you know that this ex accountant celebrates every year.
This year we are celebrating with savory pie - spicy mini Vegan Taco Hand Pies!
If you are celebrating pi day also, see all of our pie recipes for Pi Day!
Custom Tacos
The filling for these Vegan Taco Hand Pies could not be easier! Begin with my favorite Versatile Vegan Meaty Crumbles, add taco seasonings and some kale for veggies, and fold it all up in a mini hand held pastry.
Yum.
I have added cheese to these, and I have also kicked up the spicy heat with Vegan Chorizo Sausage as the base filling. Use beans, more veggies - make these traveling tacos your own!
Serve them with plenty of guacamole, salsas, and a crispy green salad on the side!
