Now this is a recipe I've been searching for a long time, actually... I am also trying to learn how to make soft corn taco shells so I can make raw tacos for dinner. I LOVED tacos as a child and always got a thrill out of sinking my little teeth into a corn taco shell bursting with tomatoes, diced greens, onions, sour creme and spicey taco meat.

The idea of being able to enjoy a LIVING, Raw version of a favorite childhood food is very appealing, and dare I say it... acceptable! ;)

Thank YOU for sharing the recipe!

I picked up some sundried tomatoes today to try this recipe, but they came in tomato halves. When you say 10 sundried tomatoes, is that 10 sundried halves or 10 whole tomatoes worth (20 halves)?

Wow. That looks delicious! Now I'm wishing I hadn't eaten those walnuts on my salads all last week. LOL

I'll definitely be making this one soon! YUM!

Glad everyone is enjoying this recipe! :) Yes, it's tomato halves which is how they normally come. Though I've used smaller ones. You can use less or more of most of the ingredients, depending on your preference.

Great website, Laura-Jane. :)

Delicious, this is some raw food that I might be able to get my friends to eat :)

I love walnut-based faux-meats but they get a little expensive if you make them too often, especially if you are using organic walnuts. So I've been working recently with this raw taco meat recipe which uses primarily sunflower seed (although still a little walnut for good measure). It's delicious, and even better I think when dehydrated.

Also, I definitely encourage adding cumin if you like that flavor. And cilantro too, mmmm :)

I love the recipe, but was so dissapointed to see that you were married! I hope to find a raw foodist just like you one day. You are inspiring!

I haven't tried this particular taco meat recipe, but with the sundried tomatoes, it looks far more exciting than the one I've been using.
I like to make "roasted" peppers (ala Ani Phyo) with Poblano peppers and use them as taco shells with cashew cheese, salsa and cilantro.

Thanks for posting this recipe. My mom and I loved it! We're new to the raw food world and this recipe is a great filling, hearty food with a nice flavor (so many possible ways to incorporate it). Looking forward to trying some of your other recipes including the casserole!!

I am so thankful that you have this recipe to share. Every night I cook non-raw food for my family and sometimes I find it hard not to want to try it too. Last night was especially difficult because I made tacos which used to be one of my favorite meals. I remembered seeing your taco meat post and I already had some of your corn and flax chips on hand so I quickly made the taco meat and chopped up some olives, tomatoes, and lettuce. It was perfect! Even better than I imagined and my craving for SAD tacos disappeared.

Thank you so much for sharing another fantastic recipe that helps everyone enjoy and appreciate raw food living!

Hi Laura-Jane!
Oh WOW! I have dabbled with raw food for the past year, but really going for it now. Admittedly I am "weaning" myself onto it as my recipe repertoire improves! I won't be able to get a dehydrator for a while either ...

I just made this (had to mess with the quantities for just little old me!) and had it in corn tortillas (no dehydrator! But better than floury tortillas surely?!) with diced cherry tomatoes, cucumber and onion. It was absolutely delicious! I just went shopping and got some mushrooms ... going to try the soup tomorrow!

I am so thankful for this website! I was worried I would have to live off Raw Pasta forever, with the help of my trusty spiralizer, but I'm speedily learning new dishes so I have no excuse not to get my act together! Thanks Laura-Jayne!

This recipe looks yum, I really want to try it! What do you mean by soaked sundried tomatoes? When I buy them, they are always in a jar of olive oil or so. Will this do or do I need to take them out and wash them?

Hi Laura-Jane I just wanted to tell you I love all your recipes first off and that I was wondering if you cater?????

i made these tacos and added rehydrated red poblanos from my garden... topped with cashew sour cream, sprouts and fresh salsa soooo good!! my teenager and boyfriend loved them. thanks!!!

um, found this on pinterest and am doing a raw cleanse. am SO glad i found it, it's SUPER tasty. mine looks more red than brown but it had a really great flavor. glad to have found your site.

Absolutely delicious! I made the first batch, tasted it and immediately began gathering the ingredients for a second batch! I added garlic and chipotle pepper to mine. My husband raved about it today :)

Tried this tonight for dinner with raw sour cream. We dehydrated it lightly before serving it with corn tortilla, green leaf lettuce leaves, and some vegan cheddar cheese. I hope to find a raw tortilla recipe soon though it did bring it all together taste wise. Very good recipe! I added fresh garlic to mine. Thanks for posting!

I was so down on the recipes I've been using lately. Either boring or they just didn't turn out like I hoped. Until tonight! Thank you for the boost! This recipe was AMAZING! Definitely keeping this as my go-to recipe when entertaining meat eaters. So good :)

Hands-down, THHHEEEE BEST taco recipe. My 12 year old daughter (who is not raw, nor vegetarian) gave this her seal of approval!! Blows away other recipes with namo shoyu. I did add some cumin. GREAT WORK!!!

I just made this and put it in a green pepper like you suggested, AMAZING!!!!! Thank you so much for this recipe!!
