Almost Raw Vegan Tacos
These almost raw vegan tacos are the perfect meal for late summer, and packed with plant-based protein from the walnuts and sunflower seeds!
Ingredients
Tacos
- 1 Head Red or Green Lettuce
- Handful Cherry Tomatoes chopped
- 1/2 Red Onion chopped
- 1 Mango peeled and chopped
Nut "Meat"
- 2 Cups Walnuts
- 1/2 Cup Sunflower Seeds
- 1/4 Tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 Tsp Chili Powder
- 1/4 Tsp Cumin
- 1/4 Tsp Salt
- Olive oil for sauté
Instructions
Nut "Meat"
- To make the nut meat, combine all ingredients into the food processor and pulse a few times, until nuts are chopped. Don't overprocess - be sure to leave big-ish chunks of nuts.
- Bring a sauté pan to medium heat. Add in a little extra virgin olive oil, and sauté nut meat for about 2-3 minutes, or until warm and fragrant.
Tacos
- Prep the veggies and mango. Mix tomatoes, onion, and mango to make a pico de gallo.
- To assemble tacos, stuff lettuce leaves with as much nut meat / pico as desired.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
To make these tacos fully raw, just process the nut meat with the spices in the food processor and serve immediately, skipping the sauté step.
