Ingredients
  • 1 cup whole, raw walnuts
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin, or I like avocado oil, for it's smooth and subtle taste
  • 1 dash hot paprika
  • 1 dash cumin
  • 1 dash seasoned salt
  • 1 dash freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 large Boston lettuce leaves, rinsed and dry
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese Use whatever you have on hand - I used mozzarella and cheddar blend, but pepper jack would be amazing in this!
  • 4 tbsp sour cream
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 radishes, sliced thin I used Easter egg radish that I found at Whole Foods, but any type will do!
  • 1 handful of cilantro, rinsed and chopped
  • 1 small handful of pickled jalapenos optional - but I like my tacos spicy!
  • 2 tbsp pico de gallo optional - but a nice fresh bright, burst of flavor!
  • 1 lime, halved
Instructions
  1. In a food processor, add the walnuts, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, hot paprika, seasoned salt, cumin and pepper.  

  2. Pulse a few times until it resembles ground beef

  3. Lay the Boston lettuce leaves on a platter.

  4. Top with the walnut "meat", cheese, radish, avocado, scallion, sour cream, pico de gallo (if using), cilantro (if using) and picked jalapenos (again, if using). 

  5. Finish with a squeeze of lime and serve with a nice cold beer!  Enjoy!
