RE: STEEMIT CULINARY CHALLENGE #40: Vegan Taco Bowl W/ Spicy Walnut Meat, Cauliflower Spanish Rice, Homemade Salsa, Guac and Cashew Cheese!

Oh wow! You've seriously gone all out for this theme @plantpowerparty and I'm well impressed! This would be a perfect feast for having friends over, or for a movie night, or when sitting out on the veranda enjoying a warm sunny evening... (I'm fantasising now... here in Donegal, Ireland, it's rained most days all summer). But this spicy Mexican meal is sure to bring some heat if not the sunshine!

I love all the different components - I'm a big fan of guacamole and salsa both, and yours look fantastic and super fresh. I didn't know nutritional yeast gives a cheesey flavour as I never used it, but perhaps now I will so that I can make cashew cheese too. I've seen others make it but no-one mentioned the cheesey taste before, so now it makes sense! That's a very interesting recipe with the walnuts, and I will have to try that out also because I don't eat meat and would like to reduce the meat in my husband's diet, so this is something we could eat together. Sounds great! This dish is packed full of nutritious ingredients, I really love it :-) Now we'll just have to wait to see what our recently-turned vegan guest judge @tioluis thinks of this! Good luck

Hi! Thank you so much, it was pretty much an all day affair between the soaking and prepping but so worth it! Unfortunately, I noticed a snag in my entry... I forgot to add it onto the post so who knows if our judge @tioluis even got to see my creation!

As for nutritional yeast- yes! It's full of vitamins and is super good for you but does contain quite a cheesy taste so is common in vegan cheese recipes!

The walnut meat was an experiment and was the best part of the whole meal as it has the very same flavor and even similar texture to taco meat! I am positive it would be well received by even the biggest meat eater!

The Spanish rice turned out really well too... especially with the cauliflower instead of rice, it was lighter and not too dense.

Great theme! Looking forward to next week!
