We’ve been making these awesome lettuce leaf tacos for years.
It’s one of our favourite quick and easy meals. They take no time at all and they never get boring.
This is a new and improved version of something we shared a while back. We’ve refined the recipe, packing in more flavour and making it even easier than before.
Enjoy!

I don’t get it:
Why soak the raw cashews in boiling water?
Why not just drop them in the blender raw?
Hey Scott. Soaking the cashews will make it easier to blend the ingredients into a cream.
If you don’t want to put the cashews into boiling water, you can soak for longer (8 hours or overnight) in the fridge. Soaking makes it easier to blend them into a creamy sauce.
Your body will digest soaked nuts better …your stomach and colon will thank you for that!
Awesome
I’ve made these before & loved them. They’re filling with the black beans but I didn’t make the cashew sauce. I also wanted to note 1st ingredient called for drained & rinsed black beans.
How many carbs?
I put the avocado, lemon juice and garlic in a small food processor and used that, instead of the vegan sour cream. It turned out awesome. I also didn’t cook the beans, I just added the spices to them, along with the veggies and fruit, stirred and refrigerated it.
I put the cilantro and jalapeño in the guacamole and used that instead of the vegan sour cream. It turned out awesome. I also didn’t cook the beans, I just added the spices to them, along with the onion and tomato stirred and refrigerated it. Then topped the lettuce with that and put the guacamole on top.
First time making these but I will again all I can say is they were bomb on so many levels

I’ve tried this with iceberg lettuce and it’s so difficult to try and extract unbroken pieces of lettuce to use. I guess it would be better to use oak leaf or something that’s not so hard to extract?
can’t wait to get my free recipe book. I am looking forward to eating clean.
