Ingredients You Need for Green Goddess Mexican Lettuce Wraps [Vegan]

  • 3 large carrots
  • 1 1/2 cups cauliflower
  • 1/2 large sweet onion, diced
  • 1 cup raw pecan halves
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 12 Butter or Bibb lettuce leaves
  • 1 medium avocado, cubed
  • Fresh chopped cilantro

How to Prepare Green Goddess Mexican Lettuce Wraps [Vegan]

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Add carrots, cauliflower, sweet onion, pecan halves, garlic cloves and all seasonings to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse all ingredients until the mixture is evenly ground yet still has some smaller chunks, approximately 10-15 seconds.
  3. Transfer vegan taco "meat" to a greased baking sheet and spread into a single layer. Bake for 20-22 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent over-browning. You want the carrots and cauliflower to be cooked but not mushy, leaving it with a slightly crunchy texture.
  4. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then divide evenly among 12 lettuce leaves, approximately 1/4 cup mixture for each lettuce leaf.
  5. Top with avocado and cilantro then serve! Enjoy!
