How to Prepare Soft Tacos With Walnut Meat [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Wash and chop all vegetables and lay out on a platter.
  2. Mash avocado and add garlic and salt. Place in a small bowl and set aside.
  3. Scoop coconut yogurt into a bowl and add lemon juice, stir, then set aside.
  4. Then make taco nut meat by placing all ingredients in a food processor. Process until walnut mixture looks like meat. You don't want to run it too long or it will turn into walnut butter. You may have to scrape down sides once before it's done, then pulse a couple more times. Place mixture in a bowl and set aside.
  5. Now heat tortillas on the stove and store in a pan or container to keep them warm.
  6. Assemble tacos by placing a bit of everything into each shell and eating right away.
