Servings: 1 people
Vegan walnut taco meat is a great plant-based option to boost your protein and still get your taco fix. Works great in any mexican dish by swapping out traditional "taco meat" with this recipe.
Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup raw walnuts soaked
- ⅛ tsp tamari
- ⅛ tsp cumin ground
- ⅛ tsp smoked paprika
- ⅛ tsp chili powder
Instructions
- Soak walnuts in water for at least 20 minutes (overnight is even better).
- Drain and rinse well. Place the drained walnuts, tamari, and spices into a food processor.
- Pulse until the walnuts are chopped and look like ground (minced) meat.
- Taste and add more spices if desired.
- Store in airtight container in fridge.
Notes
- Soaking walnuts helps improve their digestibility and also remove phytic acid and tannin.
- Soaking also improves the "meat-like" texture in the recipe.
