Totally Raw, Totally Awesome Tacos

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    Raw paté:   
    1 cup raw pecans
    1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
    1-1/2 teaspoons cumin
    1 teaspoon coriander
    2 teaspoons Nama Shoyu
    1/2 teaspoon sea salt
    1 teaspoon jalapeno spice (I simply sliced, dehydrated, and ground my own jalapenos because I couldn't
    find it at any store)
    1/2 teaspoon chili powder
    3 tablespoons water

    Serve with:
    1 to 2 heads romaine lettuce
    chopped tomatoes
    diced avocado (1 per person)
    sprouts (we love the "zesty mix" by Now Foods... so easy to sprout)
    1/2 lime per person

Directions:

1. Blend all paté ingredients in a blender or food processor until chopped (but not fully blended).

2. Lay a piece of lettuce on a plate. Dollop on the raw paté and cover with tomatoes, avocado, sprouts, and a squeeze of lime.

Source of recipe: These are my favorite! My hubby said he'd prefer the paté with a little more water to smooth out the nut mixture. But I think the choppiness of this is perfect. So try it this way, then if you don't like it add a few more tablespoons of water. I've researched lots of raw taco recipes and these are the best.
