That looks and sounds amazing! I'd make it. I wonder what the walnuts add to the flavors? Wouldn't it be just as good without them?

Even though I'm sure that the tacos would be delicious, I just can't eat walnuts. I grew up in the middle of an old walnut orchard and had to de-husk and shell waaaayyyyy too many wormy walnuts. The flavor really turns me off.
Do you think it would work with pecans?

sure - probably any kind of nut would work.

Karyn, I sure can relate to that! I will never forget the year that my parents went to visit my mom's Aunt Roma in Oklahoma. (How's that for a mouthful)
Aunt Roma had a farm and they had several pecan trees. So, naturally my mom brought home a huge bagful and we were so excited to use them until we started cracking them! Turned me off for a while.
Jean, that recipe sounds delicious. Are you going to make it? Isn't it interesting how cauliflower has evolved much like tofu and used in so many different ways now?

Maryann, it's so nice to know that childhood nightmares don't respect timelines or regional preferences!! Haha!!

We had pecan trees. LOTS of pecan trees. I spent many a day picking up pecans. Luckily, my aversion didn't carry over for too long. LOL! The same was true for butter beans, peas and corn. My summer vacations were spent in a hot field or a hot kitchen.

Cutting apricots every summer (for school clothes) turned me off dried apricots because of smelling the sulphur houses everyday!!!! I can take them every once in a while, but not often.
Sure glad I didn't work with nuts!!
