I made this recipe with guac, salsa, some raw sour cream, and wrapped it in a lettuce leaf. It was delicious and I will definately be making this recipe again.

i had this last night wrapped in romaine leaves with tomato and avocado slices. it was so quick and easy to make, and so tasty! i might make it again tonight… :)

Do you need to soak the walnuts first??

I have to thank you for this recipe- I crave it often, and it saves me in those times when my mind starts wandering towards cooked. Today I put the mixture in a nori sheet, added sliced avocado’s, some sprouts and marinated mushrooms and it was so good I had to have 2! Absolutely delish!

I LOVE this recipe! I’ve made it with pumpkin seeds as well… sooooo good!

made this for dinner tonight…SOOOOOO good!

This is truly a favorite… so quick, so easy, so yummy. My SLP at work wants the recipe and swears up and down that her daughters would love it. :-)

Okay this was so good I kicked it up a notch. Try topping RAW corn chips (RAW FOOD REAL WORLD) with the, some mac cheese. I put it in the dehyrator and BAM… Ranachos:-) Then I topped it off with guacamole (RAW FOOD…), a few cherry Tomatoes and enjoyed every bite. It was soooo much fun.

i made this with pumpkin seeds.. and it was awesome. i enjoyed it with avocado, tomato and some onions. i’m not completely raw, so i used the leftovers and made a little ‘burger’ thing out of it. that was awesome.

I can live on this for the rest of my life…

My family LOVED this. Its like a combo of beans and meat. Even my picky non-raw 13 year old said she loved it and would eat it voluntarily as a snack or a meal! I used Chipotle instead of Cayenne and South River Dark Barley Miso instead of Nama Shoyu or Braggs.

I LOVE this! Sometimes I put in a clove of garlic and 6 sun-dried tomatoes. Either way, it’s super delicious. I make a layered dip with mashed avocado on the bottom, taco meat in the middle, and fresh salsa on top. I spread the dip on barbecue chips, a recipe I got from Absolutely Abeba’s Krazy Krackers (available from rawfamily.com. Delicious!!!

It was a hit even with my cooked-food friends! They loved it!

This was very tasty, but I had to kick it up a notch by adding garlic, jalepeno pepper, cilantro and bit of lemon juice. This is a keeper!!!

This was very good!!

We are just beginning our raw journey and Mexican food has always been a staple being my mom is from New Mexico. Tacos were one of our family favorites and we have tried different fillings but this is by far the best we have found!! Thanks!!!!

this is amazing!

I made this last night and added garlic, cilantra, onion, and extra cayenne…AMAZING!! This is definately at the top of my favorites list!

My family loved this recipe. We had it with the groovy guac and some salsa. Quick, easy, and delish.

this is really delicious!

I added chili powder, garlic and lime juice to mine and it was yummy

This was soooo much better than I had expected, but as I’m finding simpler is sometimes better. I took out the Nama Shoyu and just used some salt and garlic.Thanks!

I have a secret, this was my very fist raw recipee, and I have been experiementing and loving raw ever since. Thank you, it was delicious, and I felt light, loving, energetic, and inspired afterward.

This is really good and easy to prepare, thanks.

I had to try this recipe yesterday and I must say it is wonderful! I think I’ve found a new addiction… at least it’s healthy!

I made this recipe for my SAD eating boyfriend last weekend and he absolutely loved it. He made some raw guac to put on top of it and said it was the best taco he had ever had ( raw or cooked ).

This is a great base to jazz up.

yummmm in my tum! These were so delicious! I used a big leaf of romain for the shell and filled it with the walnut meat, *guac and pico (I have my own recipe for these that I will post sooon) I LOVED this recipe! Thank you so much! I have the flax seed tortillas in the dehydrator as we speak. I’ll have to try them out tonight. Thanks again, these were delish!

i agree with rawker it is fun just adding stuff to this! thank you for the recipe

Wonderfully simple, yummy & nutritious! Texture reminded me of TVP from my old veggie days, but the taste is so much better. My non-raw friend loved it – I made a burrito with Fajitas (see recipe) in an Ezekiel tortilla.

Very tasty!

Super easy to make. It tastes even better if you can make the “meat” ahead of time. It really allows the flavors to blend. Meat loving, bbqing husband loved these. He said he was very impressed. Big thank you.

this is the best meat sub in the world!

I just made this with fresh cilantro instead of coriander seed. I also added a little red onion. It was fabulous! Instead of rolling it in romaine leaves, I just made a taco salad topped with avocado and organic tomatoes (grown by my neighbor). I will probably make some version of this regularly.A+

Yummy! I like this Taco Meat!

walnut taco meat? holy guacamole

walnut taco meat? holy guacamole

I made this today for lunch, it was great. Except, I did not have any raw tortillas. So, I made a salad with kale. I made guacamole and used the guacamole as a sauce. Added some raw corn, then the taco meat. It was delicious!

I made this and it was great. I’ve actually made it twice already. It really tastes like taco meat.

okay…....i’m in awe of raw! i love this!! delicious! thank you:)

This was delicious! We had it with cashew “sour cream” and also added the garlic, lemon and cilantro. Thanks so much!!

Honey, dinner’s ready! This tastes very much like what Ursula serves at her Good Mood Food raw café here in Huntington Beach. Don’t you hate it when people add and subtract ingredients in YOUR recipe? No? Well, I used a small bunch of fresh cilantro instead of coriander, one garlic clove, a splash of lime juice, more than a dash of cayenne, and plumb forgot the shoyu and it was still delish – served on a beautiful romaine leaf with sliced tomatoes and avocadoes. Move over, Ursula!

DELICIOUS! DELICIOUS!! DELICIOUS!!! My meat-eating husband was surprised that it tasted exactly like “real” taco meat! =) Thanks so much! I am about to go make some more right now! ;-) I have been eating it on top of my salad to make taco salad! Sooooo good!

We love this 5/5!!!

Excellent! These tasted so authentic really between this and your tortillas I was in Mexican heaven.

A great recipe that’s already become a regular addition in my household. Trying the additional condiments for the first time tonight.. really can’t wait!!

I loved this, and even my daughter, (who has always turned her nose to my veggie thingy’s as she calls them) preferred her soft shell taco filled with this as opposed to beef!

SIMPLE and AMAZING. Made tacos with this last weekend and me and my man LOVED it! So satisfying. This will be a staple in my recipe collection for sure :)

This is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. Must agree with everyone else it is simple and absolutely delicious… had this with guacamole and it tastes really good with arugula too, really stuffing myself tonight!

Yum! I’m not 100% raw yet, but I’m getting there and I’m trying to find more recipes so being raw will be fun. And this is defintiely a keeper! I put just a bit of olive oil and water because I didn’t have any nama shoyu. And I the only nuts I have right now is walnuts and I don’t even like them, but with all the spices (cumin, coriander, chili powder, garlic powder, salt..) it was really good on romaine lettuce with tomatoes. Oh, and if you put a tad of agave it’s reminiscent of salsa on it. And I told my non-raw mom to try some and she said it was delicious! I’m slowly but surely changing the ways of my family. bwahahaa!! ;D

So simple and delicious! I had them for dinner last night, as a midmorning meal and then later in the afternoon today. I let diced tomatoes marinate in the nut mixture overnight and they became even more incredible.

this is a terrific recipe! i had it for lunch this afternoon!

this recipe was soooo good! I made it tonight and I put it in the dehydrator for about 45 mins just to warm it up! This is my new favorite recipe! Thanks

New Raw Foodie here. Does any one know how long to soak the walnuts for?

Thanks Kancace, I can’t wait to try this.

I am new to going raw but I can’t wait to try this. I wonder if I can get this past my hubby? He thinks lentils are an exotic food-lol

Does it matter what kind of walnuts?

Oh and why do we soak the walnuts (moisture?)...like I said I am new at this.

This was dalish. I added some sproated garbanzos to the mix and it was quite tasty. Thanks for the goodness.

Raw walnuts are so expensive:( I see that people have made this with pumpkin seeds—do you still use 1 1/2 cups?

Very good, but I skipped the corriander and didn’t soak the walnuts (didn’t have time). I will make it again!

I made the mistake of getting stoned before I made this. I think I must have eaten like 7 of these tacos. Let me just say, these are the best munchies ever, especially with a little raw hot sauce of sorts. I see many more of these in my near future. Deeeeeeelicious!

HAAAA! i’ve totally been there. ;)

do you think I could substitute sunflower seeds for walnuts?

This stuff is heaven!!! It smells sicy and tastes so thick and meaty, but is a million times better. I didn’t have any Nama Shoyu or Braggs on hand, so I made it without, and it still worked beautifully. I put this spicy walnut taco meat along with sunflower seed/almond cheese, shredded carrots, tomatoes, and spinach all together on a large collard green leaf and wrapped it up into a large burrito and cut it in half. It was soooo fresh and delicious!!! I’m saving the other half for mom to try. :)

This is a great recipe to have-I like spicy foods so I added chopped jalapenos with a bit of the seeds left in. YUMMY! These make the best lettuce wraps-my non raw hubby loves these!!

Thank you! This was my first, non-salad, purpose-made raw dish! I was pleasantly surprised—and this from someone that does not like walnuts.

This is great!! I have my second batch waiting for my dinner. Thanks!

Just made this. I saw this in Matt Amsden book when I was at the book store and couldn’t remember the 4th ingredient. I like the fact you added cayene for a kick and used braggs instead of Nama Shoyu. I made salsa and had some fresh guac too. THIS IS SOOOO GOOD! My hubby loved this better than the way we had it before! Thanks for posting this! Your version rawks!

what can I say that hasn’t already been said? This… is… delicious. We had it on red lettuce leaves with pico de gallo and and guac and I was in heaven.

Wow I just made this and it is fantastic! I am so grateful that I have 3 walnut trees out front. This will be a staple for me.

Thank you Kandace!!!! I made this for my defiantly SAD husband tonight (my first time to convince him to try a raw entree), and he LOVED it! He doesn’t get super excited about food (prob’ly because he’s so SAD), but his exact words after his first bite were “Wow! This is GOOD!” Never thought I’d be moved to tears by taco meat, but life is full of surprises :)

I made this for dinner this evening..delicious! These flavors go well together. I added a couple of squeezes of lemon to mine though..big difference…yum! I neither coriander nor walnuts on hand so I used almonds. I can’t wait to try it with the walnuts, then again with pecans, then pumpkin seeds. I think I’ll even sustitute curry one time for the cumin. I put my taco meat on top of a pile of fresh spinach with sliced, juicy red tomatos. Thank you for the bright idea Kandace! The photo andrecipe name drew my attention!

When you say to soak….for how long in how much of what? >confused<

Soak the walnuts in water so the water more than covers the walnuts. It softens them just a bit and also removes some bitterness from the skins. Then drain thoroughly before you grind them up.
