These meatless walnut tacos are delicious and easy, especially if you prep the ingredients ahead of time.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups walnuts
  • 2 tsp canola oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 red onion, peeled and diced
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
  • 1 cup chopped bell pepper, seeded, cored and diced
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin, ground
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 4 radishes, sliced thin
  • 2 avocados, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 2 sprigs parsley

Instructions

  1. Grind the walnuts in a food processor, then soak them in warm water for 30 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients—strain them into a sieve.
  2. When all ingredients are ready, heat the oil in the pan. Saute the veggies and add the spices. When the veggies are translucent, after about 3-4 minutes, add the walnut filling.
  3. Stir and add the soy sauce and lime juice.
  4. Cook until the walnuts are a golden color.
  5. Spoon the taco filling on top of small tortillas. Top with radishes, avocado, and parsley. Top with more chopped jalapeno if you desire.
  6. Serve with lime wedges.
