Raw-cos

January28

If I haven’t told y’all already, Mexican is probably my most favorite of all of the foods. There was no way I was going to eat raw and not be able to bring the Mexican influence into my meals.

Tonight we had an early dinner of raw tacos.

For the ‘tortilla’ we used big pieces of Romaine lettuce (washed and dried).

The filling was a combination of 2 stalks of celery, 1/2 of a large red pepper, 1/2 of a large green pepper, 1 thick slice of yellow onion (ringed and cut into fourths), 1 jalepeno (seeded), 1 cup shredded broccoli, 1 garlic clove (cut in half), juice of 1/2 a lime, 1 tablespoon raw olive oil, 2 tablespoons cumin and 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (HOT!). I pulsed these ingredients in my food processor until it was the consistency I wanted. I tranferred this mixture into a bowl and then began cutting the veggies for the salsa!

Without rinsing the food processor I threw it 2 1/2 Roma tomatoes (cut into fourths), 1 thick slice of yellow onion (ringed and cut into fourths), 1/2 – 1 loose cup of cilantro leaves (it’s up to you), 1 tablespoon raw olive oil, 1/2 tablespoon cumin, dash of sea salt and the juice of 1/2 a lime. Pulse this mixture until it’s the consistency that you want.

I sliced up 2 avocados and put the juice of 1/2 a lime over the slices so they wouldn’t brown. I also cut some cremini mushrooms into slices as well.

Create your tacos any which way you want to…it’s going to be delicious no matter what!
