Vegan Mexican Night!

This raw vegan dish was AMAZING. If you are craving Mexican food or just a filling and delicious salad, you need to try this. It was super easy.


Raw Vegan Taco "Meat":
1 cup walnuts
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp salt
A dash of cayenne pepper
Red pepper flakes (if you like it spicy)

Raw Vegan "Cheese":
1 cup cashews (soaked for an hour)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup water
2/3 cup ice

Salad:
3 cups baby arugula
Taco "Meat"
Avocado
Medium Tomato (I used an heirloom) 
Raw Vegan "Cheese"

Step 1: While cashews are soaking, blend all of the Taco "Meat" ingredients in a high power blender (I use a Vitamix).
Step 2: Once your "Meat" is ready, place it in a bowl and put aside. 
Step 3: Blend all of the "Cheese" ingredients together in the high power blender.
Step 4: When the cheese is finished, put your arugula, "Meat", tomatoes, avocado, and "cheese" on a platter so you can dig in!

Enjoy!
