You don’t need meat to enjoy a satisfying Mexican meal. Vegetarian Mexican recipes starring cheese, black beans, veggies and even lentils make comforting dishes inspired by traditional fare. You’ll find twists on classic recipes, like a Mexican street corn bake, plus Tex-Mex food like queso.

While many easy vegetarian recipes are adapted from non-vegetarian dishes, certain Mexican recipes are naturally meatless. To name a few: guacamole, homemade tortillas and bean tostadas! Round out your feast with tequila cocktails and any one of these sweet Mexican dessert recipes.
