There are countless ways to substitute meat and keep your meals high in protein and rich in taste. You can try tofu, chickpeas, lentils, halloumi or veggies like aubergine, courgette and mushrooms – the options are endless! Mexican beans are one of our favourites, loaded with fibre and protein, they make excellent meat substitutes for your Mexican dishes.

Popular Vegetarian Mexican Ingredients

Alongside beans, avocados are a vegetarian Mexican staple. Mash them up for guacamole, or slice them for your tacos. Tomatoes are also essential, whether they're in salsa, a salad, or diced on top of nachos. Charred corn is another popular Mexican ingredient, popping up everywhere in tortillas and tacos. Finally, adding cheese to your dishes will always be a crowd-pleaser. Get your hands on some Monterey Jack, cheddar, or queso fresco to sprinkle over your dishes!
