We are completely obsessed with this recipe! I made it for my Sis and Skylar a few Saturdays ago as a power lunch while we were taking photos, we all immediately were in complete awe of how a raw/ vegan recipe could be so delicious and fulfilling. Everyone who knows me, knows that I could eat burritos all day every day, live for salsa and put guacamole on everything. So for me to feel that this could actually compete with my typical Mexican fare, is kinda a big deal.
What I absolutely love about this recipe is that it uses a whole, all natural ingredient to imitate meat unlike many other vegan recipes that use the typical tofu/ tempeh/ processed fake meat. I followed the walnut taco recipe exactly but decided to make my own toppings based on what I had on hand and what I traditionally would top a taco or burrito with. This recipe is so healthy and so easy, with such a small ingredient list, that there is no reason not to give it a try!
