Instructions
Taco Meat:
- In a food processor, add walnuts, garlic, and spices. Pulse until walnuts have broken down into small pieces, careful not to over process.
- Add tamari and lemon juice, and soaked sun-dried tomatoes. Pulse until combined.
- Taste for seasoning.
Cashew Queso:
- Add cashews* and all other ingredients to blender and blend on high speed until the nuts are completely broken down, about 2 minutes.
Tacos:
- Wash collard green leaves cut off the large stems at the base. Carefully use a knife to thinly shave the stem at the base.
- Layer taco meat on top of collard, add avocados, onions, tomatoes, jalapeños, if using, and cashew queso.
- Give each taco a squeeze of lime juice.
- Enjoy!
Notes
*If you do not have a high-speed blender like a Vitamix, be sure to either boil the cashews for about 10 minutes and drain, or soak cashews for at least 6-8 hours, preferably over night.
