Raw Tacos


Just thought I'd share my recipe for my favorite Raw Dinner ... Raw Tacos.  These are delicious and totally satisfying.  Even if you're not a raw foody!

Raw Taco Meat:
  1 Cup Pecans
  1/2 Cup Sunflower Seeds
  1 1/2 Tsp Cumin
  1 Tsp Chili Powder
  3/4 Tsp Coriander
  2 Tsp Nama Shoyu (you could also use Tamari or Bragg's Liquid Aminos)
  2 shakes of Red Pepper Flakes
  3 TBSP Water
  1/2 Tsp Sea Salt 

Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse several times.  Scrape the sides and pulse some more.  You want it to be well mixed and chopped, but not blended mush.  

Prepare the toppings:

  • Dice red and green pepper (Organic is always best, fresh from your garden or farmer's market is even better)
  • Chopped natural black olives
  • Cilantro 
  • Lime Wedges
  • Homemade Pico de Gallo ~ tomatoes, purple & green onion, lime juice, cilantro, jalapenos, sea salt, onion & garlic powders
  • Homemade Guacamole ~ 2 mashed avocados, lime juice, sea salt, minced garlic, cilantro, purple onion, tomato
  • Crisp, clean romaine leaves
To serve, spoon "meat" into each romaine leaf, top with cilantro leaves, guacamole, diced peppers, olives, pico and a squeeze of lime 


DELICIOUS!  Add a Dos Equis with lime and call it Heaven!

  3. Mom ~ If you don't know what Nama Shoyu or Tamari is, they are healthier soy sauces, so if you don't have them and don't have the liquid aminos (I have a sneaky suspicion that you don't), you could use soy sauce in place of all of those. You may want to lessen the amount???

  5. :) We do, too! I've already decided I'm never buying another dish. I'm just going to let you stock my kitchen with random Polish Pottery dishes. :)
