Ingredients
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 2 teaspoons taco seasoning
- 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 cup water
- 8 large lettuce leaves
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 avocado
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 4 lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
Place the raw walnuts, taco seasoning, and tamari or soy sauce in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles a crumbly, ground 'meat' texture. Set aside.
Step 2
Rinse and drain the cashews thoroughly. Add the cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic clove, and water to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more water a tablespoon at a time if needed to reach a thick but spreadable consistency. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 3
Prepare the lettuce leaves by washing and patting them dry. These will serve as the taco wraps.
Step 4
Dice the cherry tomatoes, avocado, and chop the fresh cilantro. Set aside for assembly.
Step 5
To assemble each wrap, spread a small amount of cashew cheese onto a lettuce leaf. Add a spoonful of the walnut taco filling, then top with diced tomatoes, avocado, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Step 6
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top for added zest.
