Cauliflower Taco Meat

Prep Time: 45 mins

Ingredients:

• 1 medium head cauliflower

• 1 1/2 cups walnuts

• 1 yellow bell pepper, finely chopped

• 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped

• 1/2 small jalapeno, minced *optional

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tsp cumin

• 2 tsp paprika

• 2 tbsp chili powder

• 2 tbsp liquid aminos, sub in tamari or soy sauce

• salt, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 F.

2. Break cauliflower down into florets. Pulse in food processor or blender until it’s slightly larger than cauliflower rice.

3. Add in walnuts and pulse a few more times. Add 1 tbsp of oil and pulse one more time. Transfer mixture to a mixing bowl.

4. In a small pan, heat 1 tbsp of oil on medium heat. Add bell pepper, onion and jalapeno*. Allow to blister up for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to mixing bowl.

5. Fold mixture together, adding in the remaining ingredients.

6. Pour onto a greased baking sheet or shallow pan. Bake for 30 minutes — longer depending on the moisture of your cauliflower head — stirring midway.

7. Enjoy in bowls, make cabbage wraps or tacos, whatever!
