Ingredients

• 2 cups Walnuts
• 0.25 cup Sun-dried tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Tamari or coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
• 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves (for shells)
• 1 whole Avocado
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 0.25 cup Red onion
• 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves

Directions

Step 1

Place the walnuts and sun-dried tomatoes into a food processor.

Step 2

Add the tamari (or coconut aminos), ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and sea salt into the food processor.

Step 3

Pulse the mixture until it resembles a crumbly texture akin to ground 'meat.' Be careful not to process too long, as you want some texture.

Step 4

Wash the romaine lettuce leaves thoroughly and pat them dry. These will serve as your taco shells.

Step 5

Dice the avocado, cherry tomatoes, and red onion into small pieces.

Step 6

Roughly chop the cilantro and set aside.

Step 7

Slice the lime in half and set aside one half for juice and the other half for garnish, if desired.

Step 8

To assemble the tacos, spoon a portion of the walnut 'meat' onto each romaine lettuce leaf.

Step 9

Top the walnut base with diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and chopped cilantro.

Step 10

Squeeze fresh lime juice over each taco for a zesty finish.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, raw tacos!
