Directions
Cook green lentils according to package instructions. I like to have final texture of lentils be more firm than soft, but you can cook them to your favorite texture.
Meanwhile, using your blender or food processor, pulse walnuts and 1tbsp nutritional yeast until a sand-like texture is reached.
Heat riced cauliflower according to package instructions. If using fresh cauliflower that you’ve riced in your blender or food processor, steam in microwave before next step.
Once lentils are cooked, drained, and returned to pot add in the warmed riced cauliflower, walnuts, and lime juice until combined. Mix in cumin, chili powder, pinch of salt (if using) and remaining 2 tbsp of nutritional yeast. Mix well.
Taste- is there enough of the spices? Don’t be afraid to add more if there’s a flavor you want to enhance. Just remember that you can’t remove spices so taste frequently.
Warm tortillas.
Add dairy or non-dairy cheese to bottom of tortilla if planning to use. Scoop desired amount of home made vegan ground beef into tortilla.
Add on any additional items you like on your tacos! I’ve included a suggested list above but be creative. Add a side of chips and enjoy!
Tips
- If your Trader Joe’s carries the Chile Lime seasoning blend you can use that instead of lime juice. This will add sodium so be cautious if following a low sodium diet.
- Prefer hard tacos? Use taco shells instead of soft tortillas.
- Not sure how to use the leftovers? Try making a taco salad or a burrito! Use it any way you would use ground beef.
