Vegetarian Taco Meat imitates the food we love without the meat or the higher price tag. A win win for taco lovers! (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Vegetarian, Vegan, Low-Sugar)

Yield: 4 
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 18 min
Total Time: 28 min

ingredients:
  • 4-5 cups sliced white button mushrooms
  • 1 cup roasted cashews (I like them lightly salted)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt (omit if cashews are salted)
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2-3 Tablespoons homemade taco seasoning
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Optional: 1/4 cup taco sauce (try out our homemade taco sauce)
  • Juice from half of a lime


directions:
  1. In a food processor, pulse mushrooms, cashews and salt until it creates a crumbly mixture, Pulse apprx 10-12 times. You want to have little bites of cashews and mushroom in the mixture still, do not over process it.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and vegetarian taco meat mixture. Cook 4-5 minutes to heat mixture through, turn heat down to low, cook for another 5-8 minutes. Cashews should have very little 'crunch' to them when tasting the mixture.
