How To Make Raw Mexican Tacos With Corn Tortillas [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

To Make the Tortillas:
  1. Place all ingredients in a food processor and process them until they're well mixed and relatively smooth; a little texture is fine.
  2. Make the dough into tortillas and spread them out in circles on a teflex sheet on a dehydrator tray as evenly as possible.
  3. Place in a dehydrator and dehydrate them at 105°F for 4 hours.
  4. Flip the tortillas and remove the teflex sheet and allow to dry for another 2-3 hours.
  5. They are ready when they are dry but still soft and pliable.

For the Savory Mince:

  1. Drain and rinse the seeds and walnuts and place in the food processor.
  2. Pulse in the food processor a few times to break them down slightly before you add all of the remaining ingredients.
  3. Process this until the mixture is well combined and relatively smooth; a little texture is fine.
  4. Place the mixture in a bowl until you are ready to make the tacos.

To Make the Tacos:

  1. Lay 6 corn tortillas out and add the lettuce leaves.
  2. Fill the lettuce leaves with around 1 heaped tablespoon of the "mince." This helps to keep the taco firm.
  3. Add the carrot, avocado, rash, tomatoes, and parsley.

Notes

The savory mince will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days. The is from The Unbakery.
