Author Notes
"This should go on your list of best recipes ever.” says the boyfriend. Buttery walnuts get an umami punch with soy sauce and taco seasonings to create really tasty vegan taco "meat." We love eating these topped with tons of fresh salsa and creamy avocado in a big crunchy cabbage leaf. —Erika
