Walnut Taco Meat

walnuts

tsp smoked paprika

garlic powder

tsp cumin

soy sauce (or more as needed)

olive oil

shiitake mushrooms (diced)

(plus

Add walnuts, paprika, garlic, and cumin to your food processor then pulse for 5 seconds. With the motor still running, pour the soy sauce in through the top and pulse until mixture resembles meat (be careful not to over-mix -- the mixture should come together in 20 seconds or so).

Next, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium, then add the mushrooms and salt and sauté for 3-5 minutes until the mushrooms are soft. Then, add the walnut mixture to the skillet and stir to combine until the walnuts are warm. Add more salt to taste and enjoy!

Walnut meat tacos can be served raw or heated for a healthy meaty alternative to lentils or vegetables. With only a few ingredients, transform walnuts into delicious taco meat in a matter of minutes.

Vegan Walnut Meat Tacos

raw organic walnuts

julienned sun-dried tomatoes

tomato paste

chipotle chili peppers

vegan taco seasoning

Corn or flour tortillas

Boil 2 cups of water and soak 1 cup of sun-dried tomatoes for 10 minutes until they are soft.

Then, drain the water and place them in the base of the food processor with the large blade and process on high until they are chopped into little pieces.

Next, add the raw walnuts and the remaining ingredients.

At this point, you must PULSE the ingredients rather than process or high.

As a result, the walnut meat should look a similar consistency to taco meat.

You don&#39;t, however, want it to be too mushy by over-processing. 

Once processed, transfer the walnut meat to a bowl, and at this point, it can be served as raw walnut meat tacos, or, you can heat it in a pan for crunchier hot taco meat

In order to heat the walnut meat, use a large non-stick skillet and cook over medium-low temperature until the taco meat is heated through (about 10 minutes)

Heat the corn or flour tortilla in a skillet, microwave, or oven.

For an added WOW level, put the walnut taco meat and other toppings on one side of the tortilla, fold it over, and cook it in the pan, making a hot, crunchy exterior taco shell.
