  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms
  • 3/4 C walnuts

  • 3 TBSP tomato paste

Preparation

  1. Add mushrooms, walnuts, and tempeh to a food processor and pulse a few times until a crumbled texture is achieved. Do not over pulse.

  2. Heat 1 tsp EVOO in a large cast iron skillet over medium low heat. Sauté onion and garlic until tender. Add in taco seasoning and sauté for another 30 seconds.
