Tacos!

May15

I love taking normally non vegan/non raw foods and turning them into more of what they aren’t. Here’s a new take on tacos.

Take organic whole wheat tortillas and fill them with spinach, shredded carrot, sliced red and green pepper, hemp seeds, red pepper flakes, oregano, freshly ground black pepper, cucumbers and avocado slices. This was hands down the best almost raw-co of my life. Although I would have traded in the tortilla for a romaine leaf if I had it.

You can make things a little fancier and make some home made salsa for the top or make a nut cream sour cream substitute. You can make a raw sour cream by blending 1 cup raw sunflower seeds, 1 cup water, 4 T lemon juice, 1 garlic clove pressed (or you can use 1/2 t garlic powder), 3/4 t onion powder and 3/4 t salt in a food processor or blender.

Loren ate the taco with some yellow mustard and some veggie parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. It was very Loren approved.
