Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1½ cups finely chopped mushrooms
1 cup raw walnuts
1 garlic clove
2 tablespoons tamari
1½ teaspoons chili powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
8 corn tortillas, warmed
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
¼ cup chopped red onion
1 radish, thinly sliced
1 avocado, sliced
¼ cup chopped cilantro
½ jalapeño, thinly sliced
Lime wedges, for serving
Salsa or hot sauce, for serving
Instructions
In a food processor, pulse the walnuts and garlic until finely ground. Add the mushrooms, tamari, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and a few grinds of pepper and pulse until the mixture is combined and crumbly.
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the walnut-mushroom mixture and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and fragrant.
Assemble the tacos in the warm tortillas with the walnut taco meat, black beans, red onion, radish, avocado, cilantro, and jalapeño. Serve with lime wedges and your favorite salsa or hot sauce.
Notes
You can make the walnut taco meat in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Use your favorite salsa or hot sauce to customize the heat level.
Warm tortillas on a skillet or directly over a gas flame for best flavor.
