Within days of re-evaluating the crazy, meaty diet that has become Austin life norm, I received May’s Primo Picks package from HEB containing ingredients to make vegetarian tacos.  It couldn’t have been better timing.

I skeptically read the Neat taco “meat” package, assuming it would not be for me.  But with ingredients limited to nuts, beans, and spices, I couldn’t think of a reason not to give it a try.  Combined with the HEB Mixla {corn + wheat} tortillas that were also included in the box, I was only a few toppings short of a total taco meal.

I chopped some greens {spinach, avocado, cilantro} and whooped up some homemade chipotle salsa {coming soon}.

And I served up some of the prettiest homemade tacos the FoodFash household had ever seen.

Not only were they pretty, but both Primo Pick products were a huge hit.  I loved how the blended tortilla combined the lightness of a corn tortilla with the softness of a wheat tortilla.  If I happen to be in a Mexican mood the next time I’m at the market, I’ll {without a doubt} pick up a package.

And the Neat meat substitute was surprisingly good.  Using eggs as a base eliminated the odd texture problem that is common among anything faux.  Even my roommate {who is meat-substitute-hesitant} went back for seconds, eating a total of four tacos!

As part of the HEB Primo Picks team, I received compensation to sample various Primo Picks products. The opinions in this post are completely my own and based on my experience.
