Superfood Pecan Tacos

Ingredients:

1 cup raw pecan pieces (or lightly toasted)

1 teaspoon pecan or extra virgin olive oil

1/2 medium onion, diced (about 1/2 cup)

1 tablespoon coconut aminos (or low sodium tamari)

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon oregano

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/8 teaspoon cayenne

To serve (optional):

Corn tortillas

Shredded green or red cabbage

Tomatoes

Green onion

Cilantro

Jalapeños

Lime

Guacamole

Process:

In a pan over medium heat, add oil, onion, coconut aminos, and spices. Cook about 4 minutes, until onion is translucent.
Add pecan pieces and onion mixture to food processor and pulse until consistency of ground beef, about 8 to 10 pulses. Makes 1 cup taco “meat.”
To serve: Heat taco “meat,” if desired. Then use to make tacos with classic ingredients such as corn tortillas, shredded green/red cabbage, tomatoes, green onion, cilantro, jalapeños, lime, and guacamole. Serve immediately.

*Recipe notes: Use 1 heaping tablespoon of natural taco seasoning mix instead of the cumin, oregano, chili powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne if you’re in a time crunch.
