Lightly brush the top with olive oil and bake until crispy.

Serve with chips and salsa, recommending either salsa verde or Chipotle salsa.

For the pizza, stretch store-bought pizza dough on a cookie sheet, brush with olive oil, and par bake until crispy.

Top with salsa verde, figs, jalapenos, vegan feta cheese, and walnuts, then bake for 5 minutes to melt the cheese.

For the slaw, mix grated cabbage, carrot, onion, chopped pickled jalapenos, and fresh dill.

Make a sauce with almond butter, lemon juice, cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, water, nutritional yeast, and soy sauce; blend until smooth.

Dress the slaw with the sauce and use it as a base for the tacos.

Assemble tacos with corn tortillas, vegan chicken, slaw, avocado slices, and more almond sauce; serve with lime wedges and chips.
