Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Walnuts
- 0.25 cup Sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tamari or coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves (for shells)
- 1 whole Avocado
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves
- 1 whole Lime
Instructions
Place the walnuts and sun-dried tomatoes into a food processor.
Add the tamari (or coconut aminos), ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and sea salt into the food processor.
Pulse the mixture until it resembles a crumbly texture akin to ground 'meat.' Be careful not to process too long, as you want some texture.
Wash the romaine lettuce leaves thoroughly and pat them dry. These will serve as your taco shells.
Dice the avocado, cherry tomatoes, and red onion into small pieces.
Roughly chop the cilantro and set aside.
Slice the lime in half and set aside one half for juice and the other half for garnish, if desired.
To assemble the tacos, spoon a portion of the walnut 'meat' onto each romaine lettuce leaf.
Top the walnut base with diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and chopped cilantro.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over each taco for a zesty finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, raw tacos!
