In recent culinary discussions, the concept of a “cleanse” often conjures images of beet juices and digestive distress. The idea of consuming green smoothies while spending excessive time in the restroom does not sound appealing to many. As someone who enjoys the occasional indulgence in snacks like potato chips, the traditional detox diet is far from enticing.
However, the notion of a taco cleanse is a different story altogether. The addition of “taco” to any meal elevates it significantly. For instance, a bland piece of chicken can transform into a delightful taco with just a tortilla and some fresh toppings. Fish tacos, in particular, were my secret weapon to encourage my children to try seafood—just wrap it in a tortilla! Honestly, I’d probably be tempted to try anything if it were served as a taco.
The taco cleanse seems like an enjoyable method to detox from the excessive buffalo cheese dip I may have overindulged in recently. According to the LA Times, “The Taco Cleanse” is a book authored by self-described “taco scientists,” outlining a “tortilla-based diet” that promises transformative results. This plan involves three meals a day for 30 days, all featuring vegan tacos. While my diet is far from vegan—I nearly added bacon to my coffee this morning—this taco-centric approach is intriguing.
Before diving into meal prep, the book includes a “taco quiz” to help you identify your taco-eater personality. You could be a taco purist, sentimentalist, adventurist, or contortionist. I’m curious about the term for someone who enthusiastically devours tacos—asking for personal reasons.
Once your taco style is established, you can explore various recipes. Options range from jackfruit brisket to ion-charged refried beans, along with creative drink alternatives like avocado margaritas. While these may not resemble the traditional tacos and margaritas I’m accustomed to, this is a cleanse after all. We are aiming to detox from fried cheese and excessive alcohol consumption. So, classic ingredients like chorizo and jalapeno queso are likely off the menu, but tortillas, refried beans, and guacamole remain.
The reviews on Amazon lean positive, and it’s no surprise that a title combining “taco” and “cleanse” carries a humorous tone. One reviewer humorously claimed, “Every time you indulge in a taco, your chakras will shed toxins. Your aura will glow with taco spices.” Another stated, “The book provides an array of vegan fillings, sauces, and tortillas. The recipes are flavorful and fun to create. Cleanse? Perhaps not, but will it change my life? Absolutely!”
If you take traditional cleanses seriously, this may not be your cup of tea. However, for those of us who consider beer and pizza food staples, this taco cleanse sounds manageable. The plethora of vegan taco recipes is surprisingly fascinating, making it a worthy gift idea for an upcoming birthday or holiday. What’s the worst that could happen? I might just discover some new favorite taco recipes.
