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!

Very tasty. I did not even miss salad dressing.

So glad you enjoyed it, Shebah. It's one of the few dressings that doesn't need it, right? The taco meat has enough flavor. But it would probably be even better with a splash of raw sour cream though! Not necessary, but would be the "icing on the cake" (or should I say the "dressing on the salad" ;)

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.

Hi Samadhiji. So glad you enjoyed this recipe. I love the idea of adding cumin to it as well! I bet the flavors work really well together.
