Taco "Meat"

INGREDIENTS:

1-3/4 c walnuts, soaked
1/2 onion
1-1/2 t lemon juice
2 t soy sauce
minced garlic to taste
cumin to taste
coriander to taste
cayenne to taste
sesame seeds



1. Soak walnuts in water for at least half an hour (up to three hours). Drain.

2. Mix walnuts, onion, lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic, cumin, coriander, cayenne and sesame seeds in food processor and let stand in fridge for before serving. Serve on warm corn tortillas or romaine leaves with salsa, sour cream, hot sauce, greens, and homemade guacamole (recipe below).



Serves 4 (serving size ~ 1/2 c)



Guacamole

INGREDIENTS:

3 to 4 ripe avocados
1/3 - 1/2 onion, diced
minced garlic to taste
garlic powder to taste
salt to taste
cayenne to taste



1. Mash avocados until fairly smooth with medium-sized chunks.

2. Stir onion, garlic, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne until it tastes right on a chip. If the guacamole seems like it's "missing something", that something is probably more salt. I use much less salt than the average person, but not when it comes to guacamole. Salt is the magic ingredient in this recipe.

3. SALT!



Serves 4 (serving size ~ 1/2 c)
