[edit] About Raw Tacos With Raw Sour Cream

If your meat mixture isn't sticking together very well, add a little cold-pressed olive oil.
For a little color you can add chili or cayenne powder, which also makes it a little spicier. Cilantro is also a nice addition!
Raw taco shell recipe can also be found on Foodista.
