Rawcos: Delicious Raw Tacos
Delicious Raw Tacos (or "Rawcos") are easy to make and a great, healthy alternative to traditional tacos. All of the ingredients are vegan, gluten-free and completely raw. Nothing is cooked.
You Will Need:
Romaine hearts
Raw Cashews
Raw Sunflower Seeds
Raw Walnuts
Chili Peppers
Tomato
Red Onion
Celery
Bell Peppers (Green, Yellow, Orange & Red)
Optional: Corn, Cucumber or other vegetables
Soak Cashews
To make the sauce for your Rawcos you will need to soak the cashews overnight. Place them in a glass container, cover with water and then wait for them to swell up and soften.
Make Sauce
Once you have soaked your cashews you next have to blend them until smooth.
For about 1 and 1/2 cup cashews you will need 4-6 tablespoons of water.
Once blended add a handful of chopped tomatoes and chili peppers.
One chili pepper will make a mildly spicy sauce, two will make it medium and four will make it hot.
Add a dash of Spectacular Taco Spice or just pinch of cumin for added flavour.
Mix Filling
Chop up your veggies (bell peppers, red onion, celery, etc) and then add and mix in some walnuts and sunflower seeds. Finish it off with a dollop of the creamy, spicy taco sauce you made earlier and mix.
Serve Tacos
Spoon the filling into romaine hearts or leaves, then hold in your hand and eat like you would a regular taco. Yum!
