Vegan Walnut Mushroom Lettuce Wraps


So, one thing that I have become passionate about is; not consuming animals products and consuming meals that are tasty and preferably easy to prepare. So, when I create what I feel is a masterpiece, of course I have to share its yummy goodness. This recipe is super simple and extremely quick. Well, let me rephrase that. The preparation portion is super quick, however, The preparation of the “taco meat” takes a few hours to properly prepare. It is made from soaked walnuts, marinated mushrooms and cooked quinoa (optional). So make sure you allow time to soak your walnuts and marinate your mushrooms ahead of time. You should allow yourself at least 2-3 hours (or more) to successfully complete this. You can easily do this in the morning, put them in the refrigerator and have them ready a couple of hours later when you are ready to make the wraps.

This meal has been a hit in my home and I hope this raw vegan meal becomes as much of a favorite for you as it is for me. Enjoy!
