- 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons avocado oil(optional)
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1/8 teaspoons cumin
- 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoons New Mexico red chili powder
- 1 Hass avocado
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 1/8 teaspoons cumin
- 1/8 teaspoons pepper
- 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons finely minced onion
- 1 tablespoons cilantro, finely minced
- 1 tablespoons fresh jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 small tomato, diced
- fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions
Step 1
Set the nuts to soak in a bowl of water 2-8 hours before preparing the “meat”.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Step 3
Finely chop the cauliflower into rice-sized pieces, or pulse in the food processor until the desired consistency. Toss with the oil and spread onto the baking sheet in an even layer. Bake for 18 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Step 4
While the cauliflower rice is cooking, prepare the guacamole and taco meat.
Step 5
Cut the avocado into large chunks and place into a small bowl. Add the lime juice and mash the avocado to a chunky puree or your preferred consistency. Stir in the cilantro, jalapeno, onion and spices. Set aside.
Step 6
Remove the nuts from the water and place into a small food processor. Discard the water. Pulse the nuts until they’ve reached a ground meat consistency, I find about 5-7 pulses works. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the salt, cumin, garlic powder, and red chili powder. Set aside.
Step 7
When the cauliflower is done, transfer to a mixing bowl while still warm and stir in the lime, cilantro, and salt.
Step 8
To assemble the bowls, layer 1 cup of the cauliflower rice in a bowl with taco nut meat, a dollop of guacamole, fresh tomatoes, and a sprinkling of fresh cilantro.
Step 9
Serve immediately with an additional slice of lime if desired.
