Vegan Chipotle Taco Pasta!
Vegan Chipotle Pasta combines classic taco flavours in a creamy tomato-based pasta sauce. This sauce is so smokey and flavourful. The smokey chipotle flavours pair perfectly with the cheesy nutritional yeast. I used black beans and romano beans, but red kidney beans or pinto beans would also be great here.
I suggest topping this pasta with a generous sprinkle of nutritional yeast. It adds more delicious cheesy flavour and it’s packed with B vitamins and protein. I also like to crumble some tortilla chips on top. I like the grain-free Siete Tortilla Chips best.

I made this tonight! I used oat cream and A LOT more nutritional yeast. I didn’t actually have chipotle powder so I doubled up on the chili powder. I also added chopped spinach.
It’s was great!!!! We had it after our weekly long run so it was great to have the protein from all those beans. Definitely a comforting dish to put in a bowl and hunker down in front of the TV.
Thanks for the recipe!
