I love using pecans. You boil the pecans in water, liquid smoke and coconut aminos. Drain them and add avocado oil, onions, mushrooms and bell peppers to a food processor. Blend together and it looks like ground beef. Then add to an oiled skillet with Taco Business, a little garlic powder, sea salt and pepper and cook for about 8 minutes and you have the perfect beef substitute for tacos!
Boiling pecans will take the crunch out of them, instilling moisture and a toothsome chew that, along with mushrooms, creates an especially beefy texture. Coconut aminos are an umami-rich liquid ingredient made with fermented coconut sap, offering the same funky, salty flavor of soy sauce or tamari.
Pecans may be a novel beef substitute, but they aren't the only element involved in mimicking the flavor of ground beef. They do a lot of the heavy lifting in the texture department and their protein and fat content have a similar heft to beef.
