Raw Tacos with walnut meat


I learned how to get pretty creative with raw vegan dishes when I went on a raw cleanse last month. Of all the dishes that I made the tacos were my favorite by far, even my fiancé couldn't get enough so I know I did good! Lets get started!

Ingredients:
1 head of romaine lettuce
3 cups of raw walnuts
2 cups of cauliflower
2 ears of corn
Tomato
Fresh jalapenos
1 red onion
1 bell pepper
2 tbsp. of nutritional yeast
1tbsp of liquid aminos
Coriander
1tsp of cumin
 1 tsp Lemon juice
salt and pepper
sriracha seasoning

Directions:
1. In a high speed blender add walnuts, nutritional yeast, liquid aminos, coriander, cumin, salt, garlic, pepper, and sriracha, pulse thoroughly until walnuts are ground up to look like real taco meat. You can adjust season to your liking.
2. Break large leaves off of romain lettuce rinse and set aside, these will be your taco shells.
3. Pulse cauliflower into pieces small enough to like like actual rice.
4. Cut corn of the ears rinse and set aside in a bowl.
5. Dice up tomato, jalapeno, red onion, and bell pepper and mix into bowl w corn making a raw salsa mix, season with salt, pepper, garlic, and coriander.
6. Layer lettuce shells with cauliflower rice, walnut meat, and salsa and serve!

If you are on a raw cleanse or just in the mood to eat raw and need something to spice up your life definitely give these tacos a try! You will be surprised at how tasty that walnut meat is it literally taste like real taco meat and I wasn't expecting that.  I topped mine with a raw ranch that I had made the night before but feel free to top it with whatever raw vegan sauce your heart desires. You could even use a bit of cashew cheese which you can find in most health food stores.
