A spicy chili crema, marinated veggies, and an extra handful of walnuts crown a bed of walnut “meat” covered in gochujang sauce. Your family will flip for this healthy street food fave!
1. To prepare the walnut meat, place the 2 Cups of walnuts into a food processor and pulse to coarsely chop. Place a skillet over medium heat and add the gochujang sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Add the walnuts and stir. Turn down to low heat, cover, and keep warm.
2. Next, prepare the vegetables. Cut the white parts off the green onions and discard. Slice the green parts into thin strips and place them in a bowl of ice water. This will cause them to curl. Place the vinegar and honey into a bowl and stir. Add the cucumber, radish, carrots, peppers, and sesame seeds. Stir to combine.
3. Make the crema by mixing the yogurt with the chili sauce and salt.
4. Warm the tortillas. Scoop 1/8 of the walnut meat into each tortilla. Spoon the crema on top of the walnut meat. Add a handful of marinated vegetables and a few of the curled green onions.
5. Finish the tacos by topping them with sprigs of cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, and the remaining California walnut halves. Enjoy!
