Tacos, tacos, tacos. Tacos come in many shapes and forms. Meat, chicken, seafood, vegetable, breakfast, dessert. And then there’s the choice of toppings: lettuce, cabbage, tomato, avocado, salsa, cheese… Any way you want them.
This recipe is a raw vegan riff on a ground beef taco. Walnuts processed with spices and sun-dried tomatoes give the same flavor and mouthfeel as ground beef. I topped mine with lettuce, tomato, raw cashew sour cream, nutritional yeast, and scallions. The wrap is my raw vegan tortilla recipe cut into 4″ rounds instead of chips. Delicious!
