Yummy Raw Vegan Tacos:)

"Ali's Tacos"

This recipe is very flexible. I have included the basic ingredients which can be adjusted based on your preference or what you have on hand.

Ingredients:

Non-meat filling 

Brazil Nuts (at least 1 Cup)

Walnuts (at least a 1/2 Cup)

Sun-dried tomatoes (at least a 1/2 Cup)

Cumin-1/2 teaspoon

Cayenne-pinch

Chili Powder-1 teaspoon

Pepper-pinch

Taco Seasoning- this is not all that necessary if you add the ingredients above-(at least one teaspoon)

Jerk seasoning- (I sometimes add this- optional)  

Salsa/Guacomole

Juice of at least one Lime (I often use two limes- personal preference)

1 diced avocado (more if you like)

Red or Yellow Bell pepper- diced

Cilantro- fresh, diced

Choose one fruit- mango or tomatoes

Green Onions or Red Onion- chopped

Jalapeno Pepper- diced (optional)

Freshly Cracked Pepper

Sea Salt (pinch)

Taco Shells

Leaf lettuce- your preference... romaine, butterhead, green leaf lettuce

Preparation time- 15 minutes TOPS

Mix the Non-meat filling ingredients in a food processor or Vitamix until crumbly well blended.. it should be crumbly without chunks of nuts left.... the mixture ends up looking like traditional ground beef taco filling

Chop, combine, and gently mix Salsa ingredients

Top lettuce leaves with filling and then the salsa.  Give Thanks, Eat, Enjoy!!!!

This keeps really well and the filling tastes even better the next day (and days after).  I often make a big batch and add the filling to salads and lettuce wrap sandwiches for days:)  Love and Respect, Ali
