Ingredients
Method
- Start by heating your oven to 350°F. Then place your walnuts on a baking sheet and roast for about 8-10 minutes. They should be slightly darker and fragrant. Take them out of the oven and allow to cool.
- Next, turn the oven to 400°F. Toss your cauliflower and mushrooms with the olive oil and then place on a parchment-covered baking sheet. Roast those veggies for about twenty minutes, or until they turn a golden brown. Mix all your spices for your taco seasoning and add 1/4 cup to your food processor. Toss in the walnuts and yeast and pulse a few times to incorporate.
- When your veggies are done, allow them to cool just enough that you can touch them to add to your processor. Then pulse a few more times until incorporated but still chunky. Now comes the fun part-taste! Add more seasoning/salt as you desire and pulse an additional time. Serve with your chosen mode-homemade tortillas, cheese tortilla, or on a bed of lettuce.
