Chef Dunny of Vegan Baddies makes no-cook, raw avocado tacos
Raw Avocado Taco Fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavor. No cooking required. Ingredients (Serves 2) • 2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted (use as taco “shells”) • 1 medium tomato, diced • 1 small jalapeño, finely minced (remove seeds for less heat) • ½ red onion, finely diced • Juice of 2 lime wedges • ¼ cup walnuts, soaked for 2 hours, then drained • ½ tsp cumin • ½ tsp coriander • ¼ tsp chili powder • ¼ tsp garlic powder • ¼ tsp onion powder • Pinch of pink salt • Cracked black pepper, to taste • Vegan sour cream, for garnish (your preferred brand) Directions 1. Prepare the walnut taco “meat”: In a food processor, pulse the soaked walnuts with cumin, coriander, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, pink salt, and black pepper until it reaches a crumbly, taco meat-like texture. Don’t over-blend — you want a bit of texture. 2. Make the fresh pico topping: In a small bowl, mix the diced tomato, red onion, and jalapeño. Squeeze in lime juice, add a pinch of salt, and stir to combine. 3. Assemble your avocado tacos: • Scoop out just a little of the avocado flesh if needed to create a small well. • Spoon a generous layer of walnut taco meat into each avocado half. • Top with your pico mixture. • Finish with a small dollop of vegan sour cream and an extra squeeze of lime if desired.

Andrea Jones' Butter Cream Frosting Recipe Ingredients: ● 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened ● 8 oz cream cheese, softened ● 2 to 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted (adjust for desired sweetness and consistency) ● 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla extract Instructions: 1. Soften Ingredients: Make sure the butter and cream cheese are both at room temperature. This helps them blend smoothly. 2. Beat Butter and Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the butter and cream cheese together on medium speed until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and lump-free (about 2–3 minutes). 3. Add Powdered Sugar Gradually: Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing until fully incorporated. Once all the sugar is added, increase the speed to medium-high and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy (about 1–2 more minutes). 4. Adjust Consistency (Optional): ○ For thicker frosting, add more powdered sugar (1/4 cup at a time). ○ For softer or more spreadable frosting, add a teaspoon of milk or cream if needed. 5. Use or Store: ○ Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. ○ If not using right away, store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before using.
