In honor of Día de Muertos, stars Kate del Castillo, Alicia Machado, Daniella Monet, and Marco Antonio Regil will judge PETA Latino‘s first-ever cooking competition, hosted by Patricia de León. On Saturday, November 4, six local contenders will throw down to see who makes the best vegan chilaquiles in Los Angeles, at PETA Food Fight: Chilaquiles Edition.

For just $15, diners can sample dishes from Doomies NextMex, Señoreata, Mama’s International Tamales, Taqueria la Venganza, Equelecuá Cuban Café, and Kitchen Mouse. Guests can also purchase vegan pan de muerto, horchata, and other treats.
To gear up for the event, three popular social media influencers came to PETA’s L.A. office to show us how they like to cook vegan chilaquiles. Janette of VeganGirl4Ever made a delicious mole sauce to top hers; Setareh made a healthy, salt-free “sour cream” from potatoes; and Jasmine of SweetSimpleVegan made hers with a savory tofu scramble. The mini cook-off was broadcast live on PETA’s Facebook page.
Vegan chilaquiles that are loaded with scrambled tofu, guacamole, plant-based sour cream, and vegan cheese show how easy and delicious it is to veganize your favorite Latin foods. What better way is there to celebrate Día de Muertos than by eating foods that no animal died for and that will help you to stay healthy and live longer? Vegan meals spare animals immense suffering and reduce diners’ risk of developing heart disease, strokes, diabetes, and cancer.
If you live in L.A., tickets to the star-studded event are still available.
