We live in Texas and we love tacos. We like them with lots of cheese and Frank’s hot sauce. But we don’t like to eat meat much anymore. Dan still eats buffalo meat now and then, but having a raw alternative is nice for both of us and our bodies … it’s so much easier to digest!
So, here’s the raw recipe for taco “meat” that Yemiah cutely calls “taco-eat”. For a really raw taco, just put some of the taco-eat in a romaine lettuce leaf, add home-made raw salsa, some Yemiah’s Raw Sour Cream, and you’re ready to go. Or do a transitional meal like we still do now and then, where we just substitute the taco-eat (at room temperature – not heated) with the regular tortillas, cheese, Frank’s hot sauce, etc. Either way, you’re gonna feel taco satisfied!

Taco Eat Lettuce Wrap
Grind the following ingredients in your food processor or blender. Pulse the grinding so that the mixture stays chunky rather than turning into a fine powder.
1 Cup Almonds (soaked for 8 hours, rinsed and drained)
3 Cups Walnuts (soaked for 4 hours, rinsed and drained)
3-4 tsp Sun Fire Salt (add salt to your desired taste)
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Cilantro (dried)
1/2 tsp Parsley (dried)
1 tsp Basil (dried)
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Poultry Seasoning or Fajita Seasoning
1 tsp Chili Powder
Empty the blended mixture into a large bowl and add the following ingredients:
1/2 Sweet Onion (chopped)
1 Red Bell Pepper (chopped)
1 Habanero Chili (chopped) – Optional
1 Cup Pine Nuts (not soaked) – you can leave these out and it will still taste yummy
1/2 Cup Hemp Seeds
1-2 Tbsp Vitamineral Green (you won’t even taste the added greens and they’re super good for you!)
Mix all ingredients well per the above instructions. Fill up a romaine lettuce leaf with the mixture, roll up and enjoy like a taco. You can also top your taco with home-made salsa for added kick!
If you choose to heat your taco “meat” warm it on low with a little sprinkle of water. It should be luke-warm in temperature in order to preserve the enzymes of the raw food.

Many thanks to Yemiah’s Raw Food Delights DVD Set for this recipe, with our addition of some superfood greens. You don’t even notice they’re there except that you feel so good. Enjoy!

If you’re OK with eating cooked food, this taco-eat is a great substitute for meat. We often heat it up and put it on a corn tortilla (sprouted corn tortillas from Natural Grocers is our fave) with some raw cheddar goat cheese, Frank’s RedHot sauce, green onions and lettuce. Yummy!
Here’s what it looks like when you combine the cooked and raw elements together into a super-satisfying meal. Make sure you take a Digestive Enzyme with this cooked food to help your body easily process the cooked foods and especially to handle the hot sauce!
