    If you don't have Quorn® Fajita Chicken, you can substitute it with other plant-based chicken alternatives like tofu or tempeh. For the pinto beans, black beans or chickpeas work well too. If you can't find queso fresco, try using a vegan cheese or nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor. You can also swap out zucchini for bell peppers or corn for added sweetness.

    Yes, you can store leftover vegan chicken street tacos! Keep the filling and tortillas separate to maintain freshness. Store the filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The tortillas can be kept in a sealed bag. When ready to eat, reheat the filling in a pan and assemble the tacos again with fresh toppings.

  4. What are some dietary compatibility options for vegan chicken street tacos?

    Vegan chicken street tacos are naturally vegan and can be gluten-free if you use gluten-free tortillas. They are also high in protein due to the pinto beans and vegan chicken strips. For a low-carb option, consider using lettuce wraps instead of tortillas. Always check the labels of your ingredients to ensure they meet your dietary needs.
