Ingredients

  • 8 Quorn Crunchy Strips
  • 8 soft tacos – or small tortillas
  • 20 sprouts ~ 200g, cut into halves
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice – half a lime
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika powder
  • 6 tablespoon vegan mayonaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage
  • teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoon cranberry sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon chipotle powder
  • teaspoon mild chilli powder

For serving

  • Fresh coriander

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°c / gas mark 6.
  • Cook the Quorn Crunchy Strips as per the packet instructions – this takes 18-20 minutes.
    8 Quorn Crunchy Strips
  • Add the prepared sprouts to a large bowl and toss them in the lime juice. Then add the smoked paprika and stir until evenly coated.
    20 sprouts, 1 tablespoon lime juice, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika powder
  • Bake the sprouts, flat-side down on a non-stick baking sheet (the same one that the Crunchy Strips are on, if big enough), for the last 15 minutes of the Crunchy Strips cooking time.
  • Thoroughly mix the mayo, onion powder and sage in a bowl. Taste and add more onion powder if needed.
    6 tablespoon vegan mayonaise, 1 tablespoon fresh sage, ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
  • In another bowl, mix the cranberry sauce, chipotle powder and mild chilli powder. If you don’t like spice, stick with the chipotle for a subtle yet smokey flavour.
    2 tablespoon cranberry sauce, ¼ teaspoon chipotle powder, ⅛ teaspoon mild chilli powder
  • Finally, warm the tacos in a non-stick frying pan, around 20 seconds on a medium heat should do the trick, on each side.

  • When ready to serve, spread a good helping of stuffing mayo on a taco, top with a Quorn Crunchy Strip, 5 sprout halves, a good dollop of spicy cranberry sauce and some fresh coriander. Or, serve all the components and people can build their own tacos!

Notes

  • Make sure to use plain vegan mayo, not flavoured.
  • We like soft tacos, but if you can’t find them small tortilla wraps work great. Or, alternatively, you could use hard-shell tacos.
  • Try serving all the components separately and your guests can build their own taco.
  • If you don’t like spice, leave out the chilli powder from the cranberry sauce and just use the chipotle. Or, if you really like spice, serve with some extra chilli flakes!
  • Add a fresh tomato salsa or guacamole if you want to really load them up.
