These delicious and easy tacos, especially if you prep the ingredients ahead of time.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups walnuts
  • 2 tsp canola oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 red onion, peeled and diced
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
  • 1 cup chopped bell pepper, seeded, cored and diced
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin, ground
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 4 radishes, sliced thin
  • 2 avocados, peeled, pitted, and sliced

Instructions

  1. Grind the walnuts in a food processor, then soak them in warm water for 30 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients—strain them into a sieve.
  2. When all ingredients are ready, heat the oil in the pan. Saute the veggies and add the spices. When the veggies are translucent, after about 3-4 minutes, add the walnut filling.
  3. Stir and add the soy sauce and lime juice.
  4. Cook until the walnuts are a golden color.
  5. Spoon the taco filling on top of small tortillas. Top with radishes, avocado, and parsley. Top with more chopped jalapeno if you desire.
