Prep Notes

We love Taco Tuesday at our house! This is a VEGAN spin on our usual grass-fed beef taco. Walnuts are a brain food, cauliflower full of vitamins & fiber, and all of the spices and texture to create a meal that doesn’t taste meatless.

Directions

In a food processor, pulse all ingredients until they look like cooked ground beef. You may need to get a spoon on their once or twice in between pulsing to make sure it chops evenly.
