Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 2 teaspoons taco seasoning
- 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 cup water
- 8 large lettuce leaves
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 avocado
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 4 lime wedges
Instructions
Place the raw walnuts, taco seasoning, and tamari or soy sauce in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles a crumbly, ground 'meat' texture. Set aside.
Rinse and drain the cashews thoroughly. Add the cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic clove, and water to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more water a tablespoon at a time if needed to reach a thick but spreadable consistency. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Prepare the lettuce leaves by washing and patting them dry. These will serve as the taco wraps.
Dice the cherry tomatoes, avocado, and chop the fresh cilantro. Set aside for assembly.
To assemble each wrap, spread a small amount of cashew cheese onto a lettuce leaf. Add a spoonful of the walnut taco filling, then top with diced tomatoes, avocado, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top for added zest.
