What kind of tortillas should I use for these tacos?

The recipe specifically calls for 1 package of gluten-free tortillas to ensure the dish remains gluten-free.

Can I make the avocado mash or coconut yogurt sauce ahead of time?

The avocado mash, with garlic and salt, and the lemon-coconut yogurt sauce can be prepared and set aside shortly before assembling the tacos, but are best made fresh to prevent browning of the avocado.

What fresh toppings are recommended for these soft tacos?

The recipe suggests a vibrant array of toppings including chopped cabbage, lettuce, sliced tomato, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro, alongside your favorite salsa.

How should I store leftover walnut meat or assembled tacos?

Leftover walnut meat can be stored separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a day or two. Assembled tacos with fresh ingredients are best eaten immediately and do not store well due to the fresh vegetables and avocado.

How to Prepare Soft Tacos With Walnut Meat [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Wash and chop all vegetables and lay out on a platter.
Mash avocado and add garlic and salt. Place in a small bowl and set aside.
Scoop coconut yogurt into a bowl and add lemon juice, stir, then set aside.
Then make taco nut meat by placing all ingredients in a food processor. Process until walnut mixture looks like meat. You don't want to run it too long or it will turn into walnut butter. You may have to scrape down sides once before it's done, then pulse a couple more times. Place mixture in a bowl and set aside.
Now heat tortillas on the stove and store in a pan or container to keep them warm.
Assemble tacos by placing a bit of everything into each shell and eating right away.
