Taco "Meat"
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1/3 cup sundried tomatoes, soaked for at least one hour, preferably a few hours.
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Salad
- 1 avocado
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- 2 tomatoes
- 1/2 cup fresh corn (optional)
Recipe Directions
- 1. If you are using dry sun-dried tomatoes, soak your sun-dried tomatoes in oil for at least one hour. Drain and pat dry before using. (If your sun-dried tomatoes are packed in oil you don't need to do this.)
- 2. Simply add all taco "meat" ingredients to the food processor and blend until it become the consistency of the photo above. Go slow! It will happen quickly, perhaps a few pulses.
- 3. Place your taco "meat" on a plate and top with sliced romaine lettuce, sliced tomato and sliced avocado. Eat immediately.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The RawtarianThis walnut-based raw taco filling is an excellent, hearty topping for a raw taco salad.
This recipe is for three large meal-sized servings. Feel free to double the taco meat recipe if you prefer.
The taco filling keeps VERY well in the fridge for around 4 days! Seriously, the "taco meat" keeps superbly so it's a perfect recipe to keep in the fridge for quick meals.
I love this stuff!

Raw taco salad recipe
This taco salad is great!. I did add some cumin, which I really liked. I did the wrap and I also put it in a large salad. I will make this at least once a week.

Raw taco salad recipe
I literally danced when I took my first bite! I did add cumin and smoked paprika to the mix and I seasoned my fresh corn with nutritional yeast and garlic salt. This was so freaking delicious that I will be making this my taco Tuesday regular. ?

Raw taco salad recipe
Maxing on this again... I never thought I’d love preparing food (I’m 34 and HATE cooking). You’ve changed my life girl. Thank you! This one gets me super giddy as I’m making it ?

Awwwwww it's a slippery slope now ...... :) :)
I was the same!! I didn't really learn to cook until I was in my late late twenties (when I first began to dabble in raw food). I find it really becomes fun once you get used to making a certain recipe (like this one) and it goes from being hard to being like, "Oh ya, I remember, now I just do this, this and this...!" Easy! :)
Nicely done!!!

Oh. My. Gawwwwd!!! Not going to lie... I wasn’t expecting to love this. I’m obsessed! This will be stocked in the fridge 24/7 ? Even my meat eating hubby loved it! I’m trying it with your sour cream recipe next time ??

This is one of my favorite salads. It's so fresh with an authentic taco taste. It's amazing there's no flesh in this salad.

Sounds delicious! A question prior to making... I don't care for walnuts so, what do you suggest as a good alternative?
Thanks!

Hi Kelly,
You can use pecans instead of walnuts, and it will turn out almost exactly the same.

Raw taco salad recipe
I am a newbie to the whole raw eating and thought I would make this for dinner for me and my husband (not a raw enthusiast....yet). Well he loved it and was surprised how full he felt eating a "salad". We both couldn't finish a portion size which was awesome as we had lunch for the next day.
My coworker saw my salad today and made a comment how good it looked. I told her "Yes! It is awesome and very healthy"
Thanks for the simple, quick recipes. So far the Kale salad, brownies and this recipe are so amazing. Can't wait to try more recipes!

I didn't try it yet, but this sounds like a delicious quick meal idea (I just wouldn't add corn, but that's my personal taste)! And the best is that it's really easy to prepare what's pretty important for someone who is all day long at work and then just too tired to spend hours in the kitchen. I think I never ate taco at home; if I want some I usually go to my favourite Superfood Eateries because I think they make the best, so can't wait to have the first!
