Deceptively authentic: what at first glance looks like chicken is in fact a vegetarian alternative to meat that is produced from pea protein. This meat substitute is convincing not only visually but also in terms of taste – and the marinade makes it particularly delicious. As all the components for the tacos can be prepared in advance, this is a perfect dish to make when inviting friends over for a summer taco party.
