How do you make vegan taco meat?
A plant-based best friend is walnuts when it comes to making fake meat that has a meat-like texture but is suitable for their dietary needs and preferences. Walnuts are the critical ingredient to make this taco meat seem like it’s taco meat, so it’s important to not substitute these for another nut. To make this faux taco meat, you’ll need to do the following…
Ingredients you’ll need:
Walnuts (I like to use California Walnuts for the best quality) Sea Salt Tomato Paste Garlic Powder Onion Powder Oregano Basil Cumin Paprika Olive Oil Red Chili Flakes (use more or less depending on how spicy you like things) Cayenne Pepper (same note as above)
As you can see the key ingredients to transform raw walnuts into vegan taco meat is a lot of different spices. Feel free to get creative and experiment with different spices, but this is personally what I like to use for both nachos and tacos. Next, here’s how you’ll put all this together:
