This recipe is super quick and easy!
Here's the ingredient list:
1/2 cup raw almonds, plus 1 tablespoon
1/2 cup raw walnuts, plus 1 tablespoon
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoons ground cumin
3/4 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon liquid amino acids
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 roma tomato, diced (just the outside part, not the gross tomato-goo)
1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 yellow bell pepper, diced
4 leaves romaine lettuce (don't process these)
Throw all of these into a food processor, and pulse on the grind setting until it starts to look sort of like the texture of ground beef. If you over process, you'll just end up with a delicious nut dip/paste!
Then, simply plop about 1/4 of this mix into a romaine lettuce leaf, top with whatever else you like -- cashew "cheese" sauce, onions, bell pepper, tomato, salsa, avocado -- and enjoy!
If you refrigerate this for a few hours (4-8) before serving, the flavors will mingle better and be even more delicious, if that's possible.
This recipe is different from most raw vegan taco mixes you'll see because I add onion and bell pepper right into the mix! I have also adjusted the spices and amount of oil. This fixed the too-gooey texture that too much oil and amino acids may give you, and also ensures a rich, layered flavor.
Did you know that walnuts have a SHIT TON of omega-3 fatty acids? Seriously. A quarter cup gives you about 95% of your daily requirement!
