Spicy and savory vegan tacos featuring a walnut-based jerk filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon jerk seasoning paste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth
- 12 small corn tortillas
- Toppings: shredded cabbage, fresh cilantro, lime wedges
Instructions
- Place walnuts, water, soy sauce, jerk seasoning, smoked paprika, allspice, and cayenne pepper in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse ground meat. Do not over-process into a paste.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the walnut mixture to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 to 7 minutes until heated through and slightly browned.
- Pour in vegetable broth and cook until the liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes.
- Warm the corn tortillas according to package directions.
- Fill each tortilla with the jerk walnut mixture. Top with shredded cabbage, cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of jerk seasoning to control the heat level.
- For a smoother texture, process the walnut mixture slightly longer.
- Prepare the walnut filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
