carrot taco meat

Raw Eatery Carrot Sun Seed Taco Meat | Vegan

April 11, 2019 By julia

Carrots. They’re good for snackin’, shreddin’, cakes n’ muffins… BUT, did you know, when paired with the sunflower seed, they can morph into a delicious, meat-y taco filling? That’s right. Welcome to my kitchen, carrot sunflower taco meat. I’ll be seeing you again and again and again.

Thanks to the amazing ladies and co-owners of the Raw Eatery and Market in Calgary, Megan and Ali, for allowing me to share their yummy recipe with all of you! If you’re in Calgary, I HIGHLY recommend checking out their beautiful vegan café in Kensington. These two girls are full of positivity and contagious passion for plant-based food. The space is beautiful, (equipped with a gratitude tree and Talk Vegan To Me apparel), and I simply can’t go to Calgary without lunching here at least once.

This is one of their most popular dishes, served on butter lettuce with cashew sour cream, hummus, sprouts and avo… and OH EM GEE, it was tasty. Check out Meg serving it up for the Calgary VegFest promo on Global TV last year:)

This stuff is perfect for taco night of course, but also works for loading up your potatoes, topping your salads, amping up your lunch wraps, or pumping up your pizzas.

It’s ridiculously simple, and packed with all the noots!

Carrots bring the vitamin A and beta-carotene, sunflower seeds bring the vitamin E, protein and a bunch of beneficial minerals.

Happy taco meat night!

One of my faves. 

Pro Persimmon tip: 

You HAVE to wait until it’s so ripe that it’s gooey. Especially for the taller Hachiya
type.

Then expect to experience the most delicious vanilla pudding-like tastiness ….(Vs: if you eat it while it’s firm, its chalky-ness makes it almost inedible).

Have you tried this fab fall/winter fruit?

Local Vegan Biz shout out 🎉 

@hwycafe visits (in Pemberton) give me the warm fuzzies. 
What Leo & Laura have created is nothing short of RIDICULOUSLY DELICIOUS menu of vegan comfort food, and to see their growth & the traction they’re  gaining from spreading the vegan message through the ridiculousl deliciousness, is really somethin’ else.

The collab day they did a couple weeks back with @erinireland at  @tolivefor.bakery had a 3 hour!!! line up of people who were happily waiting to try their infamous Chick’N Wraps. 

Proof you don’t need animals for all the nostalgic textures & flavours you’d ever crave. 

Stop by @thehwycafe next time you’re in Pemby, and you’ll be greeted by one of the kindest & most compassionate (and purpose driven) couples I’ve come across 

Get in there. 
It’s ridiculous how delicious 🤤 

…Look out for their new food truck around Whistler & festivals next year too 🎉
