Ingredients
For the Walnut Taco Filling
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 1–2 tbsp salt-free taco seasoning (such as Tap the Browns Taco Business seasoning)
For the Fresh Vegetable Filling
- 1 cup purple cabbage, thinly sliced
- ½ cup chopped tomatoes
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- ¼ cup diced onions
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
For the Wrap
- Large lettuce leaves or vegetable wraps (collard greens or large lettuce work well)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Walnut Taco Filling
- Add the raw walnuts to a food processor and pulse until they reach a crumbly, ground texture similar to taco meat.
- Add the salt-free taco seasoning and pulse again briefly to combine.
2. Assemble the Wraps
- Lay out your lettuce or vegetable wraps flat.
- Add a layer of the seasoned walnut taco filling, followed by the fresh vegetable mixture.
3. Add the Avocado
- Spread a spoonful of mashed avocado on top of the filling to add creaminess.
4. Roll and Serve
- Carefully roll the wrap tightly, folding in the sides if needed.
- Slice in half if desired and serve immediately.
Pro Tips and Serving Suggestions
- Pulse walnuts gently so they stay crumbly rather than turning into walnut butter.
- If your wraps tear easily, try using collard greens, which are sturdier for rolling.
- Add lime juice for extra brightness and flavor.
- For extra crunch, include thinly sliced cucumbers or bell peppers.
- Serve with raw salsa or a vegan cashew crema for dipping.
