Homemade Taco Shells, Walnut Filling, and Shoes


I've always been under the impression that soft tacos are more traditional than the hard shell variety, which I have a feeling came about in this country as some sort of fast-foody invention. I've never been to Mexico though, so I don't really know what I'm talking about. However, I do know there are those of you who won't countenance a hard shell when it comes to tacos, and though I think that shows taste and distinction, personally, I can go either way.

I've never fancied buying those hard shells in the stores though...there's too much packaging so they won't break and they seem stale and unwholesome somehow. So, I came up with a way of making them at home. The title says homemade taco shells, which is a little misleading. I don't make the tortillas; I buy the Food for Life Organic Sprouted Corn Tortillas,  then make the shells by using an upside down muffin tin and baking them in the oven:


For best results, I  warm them up in a pan so they soften before folding them into the tin. I don't use oil or anything, I just throw them in a warm pan for a 30-40 seconds until they become soft and more pliable. Once they're in the tin, I bake them for about 8-10 minutes in a 375 F oven. If you check them periodically, you'll be able to tell when they've stiffened up enough. Sometimes, I brush them with a mixture of Bragg's Aminos and lime juice before hand, which makes them extra tasty. 


Onto the filling, which is the best part. To be honest, I rarely (like never) made tacos before I found the recipe for this filling.  I've posted about it before, but I'm posting about it again because it's just that good. (If you're interested, see this post for a better picture of the filling and a link to the original recipe.)

walnut taco filling; great for nachos too
The filling consists of raw walnuts, sun-dried tomatoes (I use dry ones reconstituted in some warm veggie broth until they're soft), a few black olives, ground cumin, nutritional yeast, a dash of hot sauce, black pepper, and a dash of sea salt. I used those old school kind of black olives...you know the ones you used to put on your finger tips at holiday parties...they're very mild tasting and not too salty. Any kind of olive you prefer would work great; if they're more salty, like say a kalamata, you'll want to taste the filling before adding more salt. Jalapeños would be nice addition too. EDIT not in original publication: I also add garlic! And just for clarification...you mix everything in a food processor and that's it, you're done. :) It's also really good on nachos!!!

As you might imagine, this filling is enormously versatile; you can add spices and other ingredients of your choice in order  to tailor it to the desired flavor profile. I've used it for many different dishes from moussaka to lasagne, but it really makes tacos shine in my opinion.

In addition to the walnut filling, these particular tacos also had a layer of drunken black beans and garlic,  and were topped off with the usual suspects: tomato, spring onion, avocado, black olives, shredded carrots and daikon, etc. I took the pics before piling on the salsa and hot sauce...truly, mouthfuls of deliciousness.


Now for shoes! People often think that being vegan must be difficult, but I know all you vegans out there will agree, that food-wise at least, it's not difficult at all. In fact, it's a true joy that non-vegans are really missing out on. But when it come to shoes...that has always been the hardest part of the vegan lifestyle for me. I can never find any shoes that I like!

Everyone's tastes are different of course, and some might find loads of vegan shoes that suit their tastes, but I rarely see any that catch my fancy. I often peruse the vegan shoe sites, and there's even a vegan shoe shop near my house, but I'm always disappointed in the selection. Buying shoes has become an infrequent activity for me, except in the case of running shoes and sandals, which I think are easier to find then other dress and casual shoes.

So, I was truly excited when recently, I scored a pair that I really like:


They look cute with trousers and skirts, and while they may not be everyone's cup of tea, if you're short like me, you'll probably understand the appeal of wedges; they give you a good few inches of height. The trick is finding ones that are actually comfortable too. If they're well made, a pair of wedges can be very comfortable indeed. These particular ones don't fair too badly on that count; I can be on my feet in them for about 7 hours before my feet start to complain.


I found them on a teeny-bopper site called ModCloth, where you'll find lots of funky teen glamour stuff, but I mainly look at the shoes. In the "More Details" section of the product description, they tell you what all the shoes are made from, and many of them are from all man made materials. Most of their stuff is imported of course (read outsourced), which I don't like, but finding anything made here a chore in itself. Here's hoping that there's enough impetus to make that change in the coming years.

That's all I got for now. I do have several other meals that I feel like posting about, but I'm thinking of switching over to Wordpress, so not sure whether I'll post much more here or just post them on the new blog when I have it set up. It all depends on how lazy I end up being about doing the blog transition. It sounds like a heinous project--precisely the sort of thing that I personally loathe, but I find myself wanting to move away from Google services, so I'm looking into it with fairly serious intent.

Ciao for now! :D

  2. Oh, a Rose post!!! How I've missed them!!!

    Those tacos look wonderful! I've had that raw taco filling on my to-do list for ages--can't recall whether I picked up on it on your blog or elsewhere. So thanks for the reminder!

    Also! WRT the shoes, this is really funny but when I was reading your post and saw your comment on how hard it is to get vegan shoes, I was thinking to myself "Modcloth" and there you have it! I just bought a little pair of pleather ankle boots from them and some dresses last week. I feel guilty about the fact that I still have (a lot) of leather shoes. I have not bought any new leather since going vegan, but it seemed wasteful and impractical to throw out everything I already had. I guess I'm "setting an example" by wearing leather but I frankly can't imagine anyone wanting to copy my style, which is thrift store/hippie/slovenly.

    1. The walnut filling is awesome! I hope you like it! Add your own tweaks and a bit of your own flair; it'll turn out really tasty. Sometimes I use soy sauce or BRagg's aminos for the salt factor, but other times I just add some other salty ingredients: pickled jalapenos, capers, etc...If you make it, let us know how it turns out.

      I really like the ModCloth stuff too...I don't usually order anything but shoes, but I like a lot of their tops and dresses and stuff. Sounds like we have a similar style; I love thrifting because you can find unique pieces that no one else has. I don't think you should feel guilty about the leather shoes...I did the same thing when I gave up leather...just phased them out gradually as I bought new shoes. Now, I only have vegan shoes, except for an old pair of knee boots. And, I will admit that I have been tempted on one or two occasions by a pair of really cute non-vegan shoes...but I stayed strong.

  3. OK so first of all I just wanted you to know that it made me so happy to see your post pop up in my blogroll! :)

    Your pictures are gorgeous as usual and the taco shells look so lovely and are so easy to make! I also love the sound of that walnut taco filling! It sounds so delicious! I'd probably sub out the olives for jalapenos because I'm not a fan of olives but the rest of it sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing!

    Super cute shoes! Even though I'm a short gal I don't wear heels often. When I do they are wedges 90% of the time. They are so comfy and make wearing heels not so torturous :) Very cute! I like your socks too ;)

    1. The taco filling is really good, and I love that it's full of healthy fat. The original recipe calls for olive oil, but I don't add any oil..I don't think it needs it. Jalapenos will work great in it. I don't always add olives, sometimes I use soy sauce or Bragg's aminos for the salty aspect.

      Wedges are awesome aren't they? They my favorite kind of shoe; definitely a short girl's friend! :)

  6. Excellent post, as always. Never knew one could heat up corn tortillas like that. Very timely with Super Bowl next week. We always do nachos for SB but I'll remember this idea for next time we do Mexican.

    I admire anyone who can wear 4" heals. I'm thinking of moving in that direction, I've always been a two-three incher and I've never had a problem finding non-leather shoes till this past winter. Payless and Famous Footwear always had tons of stuff I could consider. Not anymore! I've been scouring Amazon, Piperlime, Zappos, Macys, Nordstroms. Fug! Fug! Fug! Can't find a single shoe that fits my style. Hopefully, spring will be here soon and I can just go back to sandals.

    Molly looks to be loving her forever home.

  10. Great stuff, Rose. The taco filling sounds really good; I've never really thought to make my own "meat" - I'm also a big fan of the very geometrically equal dicing of the avo and tomato.
    The shoes are super cute! I mostly wear sneakers, which aren't hard to find vegan - I got mine on Zappos and they actually had a pull-down tab specifically for vegan shoes, which I thought was awesome. I do have two pairs of leather boots I wear, but one was thrifted and the other was given to me so I don't feel too bad. Unfortunately they are both falling apart by now so thanks for the tip on modcloth (I ogle their dresses, which I also don't wear but never look at the shoes)

    1. I think the taco filling is right up your alley; it's raw and it's healthy. The original recipe called for adding olive oil, but I don't add any, it doesn't need it and you can really ramp up the flavor by all the other stuff you add. It's good on taco salad or just any salad too; I bet it would be good in a collard wrap too.

      Yeah, sneakers are pretty easy to find cute ones. It's been a while since I've checked out Zappos, must have another look. It is indeed very cool that they have a vegan section! I agree that buying thrifted shoes is totally different than buying them new.

  11. Another gorgeous post. I've been craving tacos for, like, a whole year, and have not made them yet, and I don't even know why. Yours look so good, and I love the idea of baking them (not making them; I have come to terms with my limitations) myself. Good lord, yours look so delicious, and, ahem, that broccoli side takes your photos into the stratosphere, beauty-wise!

    Shoes? Gah, I'm so tall that if I wore shoes like that it would be an act of aggression. Yours are sure cute, though. Shoe-wise, I go for comfort and cheap-i-ness all the way and tend to have one pair of shoes for each use (work, walking, gym) and wear them until they wear right out, then buy another one as identical to it as possible. Not a philosophical stance, just tender, delicate (if large) feet.

  12. Aaaccchhh, she's put out a new post! I'm so glad I'm sitting down! :-)

    I love the idea of using the muffin tins to shape and bake those shells. I grew up with my dad lightly frying corn tortillas to make our tacos, so I still prefer that method - think ingrained taste buds from long ago. But, seeing how easy it is to do it your way, on our next batch of tacos, which won't be too long away, I'm am positively going to do this. That walnut filling sounds amazing, too.

    As far as shoes, I've never had a problem finding shoes locally, so I'm bummed that you're having such a hard time. I'm 5'10", so those babies would make me an NBA player!

    Why do you prefer Wordpress? Just curious. I've seen other bloggers going over there, and I'm wondering if it's easier or something. How hard is it to switch your blog over there?

    1. The home fried shells sound good too. I just couldn't figure out how to fry them and make them shaped in a U...you should post about how to do that. But, the baked version is kind of fun too...if you brush them with some soy sauce and lime juice before you bake them, they come out tastier and make up for the flavor component missing from not frying them(I think).

      So, you're another lucky tall person. (See my response to Zoa re: tallness.) I was always terrible at basketball...

      As far as the blog switch goes, I've always thought that the Wordpress blogs look nicer, but was just too lazy to do anything about it. But, with Google changing its privacy policy in March, I want to close my Google account. I don't use many google services, but when you're logged in to your Google account, they're tracking everything you do.

  13. Very clever of you to make the stand-up tacos. We used to use them long ago but like you, we became disenchanted with the store variety. Sometimes it's nice to bite into a crunchy taco instead of a rolled-up one. And the filling sounds yummy — similar to one we had at Vida Vegan Con. As for the shoes — I think they look great! Love the color and design, but I'd probably fall on my nose if I tried to wear them.

    1. You're right about the crunch bringing a nice change to the taco experience from time to time. I like the soft ones too though, but Mr Dandelion doesn't like them as much as the hard ones...anyway, I do highly recommend the walnut filling, so yummy!

      The shoes are not too difficult to walk in...I've had wedges that were much more treacherous...and have fallen on my nose at least or twice in the process, but then again, I've had pairs that felt just like wearing a comfy pairs of sneakers. These are somewhere in the middle.

  14. p.s. You probably know how I feel about google right now, but the thought of switching offers little comfort. You can download a complete version of your blog and upload it to wordpress, but of course that probably sounds easier than it is. Before I can move mine, I have to restore it where it is. And by then I might be out of energy.

  15. Tsk, tsk. Are you telling me that you haven't memorized all of my taco recipes I've posted? Oh, I just don't know what to say! :-) Anyhow, all we do to shape the shells is once they're lightly fried on one side, we flip them and put the filling on one side of the tortilla. Then, we use a spatula to fold the other side over, that's all. Easy squeezy.

    On Google: how will their privacy change affect us? I have no idea on this matter. Thank you, dear.

    1. Oh, great!! I should have known you would have already had that covered on your blog! Who would have thought it would be that easy!! I'm going to try it next time.

      As for the Google thing, I think it just depends on how many google services you use. I don't use gmail, all I use is blogger, but whenever you're logged into your Google account, which I am a lot of the time to comment on blogs etc, they can track your actions online, e.g. Google search etc, in fair detail. They track search even if you're not logged in, but if your not logged into Google at least they can't narrow down to the precise user account.

  16. Oh, yum, I haven't made tacos in a dog's age and now you have me wanting some (your blog does that to me a lot!) :-) I'm no expert in taco shell traditions south of the border, but on the few occasions I've dined in Mexico, I've seen both varieties on the menu. Of course, it was always in border towns, so they may merely be appealing to American preferences. I must say, though, I've always preferred the crunchy ones, but abandoned the store-bought shells quite a long time ago for the same reasons you did. Plus, I won't eat corn products that aren't organic, since it's a major GM crop, and it's difficult to find organic taco shells.

    I love the Food for Life sprouted corn tortillas - we use them to make our corn chips. Thinking they'd also make perfect taco shells, but not being nearly as inventive nor clever as you, I got one of these a while back. But have I used it yet? Of course not. I feel pangs of guilt every time I open my cupboard and see it there.

    Never would have thought to make taco filling out of walnuts! Sounds wonderful, and I must try it! I'm not in a mood to cook these days, life is too stressful right now. But someday soon, in my OWN kitchen...

    Why does that photo of Molly climbing out of the cupboard make me think there's a perfect nursery rhyme to accompany it? Or at least there should be ~ The Cat in the Cupboard. Maybe we'll have to write it. Molly makes a great muse! :-)

      You have a taco rack?? Cool. You should use it, but even if you don't....I'm sort of the same way with gadgets; I might use them once or twice and then they sit there, while do things by hand. Even if you don't make tacos, the walnut filling is good on nachos too, and taco salads, etc. It's super quick to make too. I love that you can taylor the flavors to your tastes...lime juice is a nice addition too. I play around with combos a lot.

      Sorry to hear you're stressed. I'm sending you good vibes on the real estate front! There's a perfect little home out there for you and BW...I know you'll find it soon.

      Yes, we should make a nursery rhyme about Molly and the cupboard...Old Molly Hubbard Went to the Cupboard...lol, but, I'll leave it there; you're the expert on clever rhymes and the like.

  26. Hey! Coming back to comment since I wasn't able to one-handed awhile back! I was just telling my husband your taco shell idea a few days ago, and he was impressed, as well. I really love the idea of the taco filling as I've eliminated most isolated soy protein foods from my diet. Also love the shoes. I'm 5'3" so heels are good for my stubby legs. :) Not that I ever wear them but one day I just may!

    1. Hi Cassie,

      The muffin tin thing works pretty well, so long as you make sure to heat up the tortillas a little first so they're more flexible. I'll have to check out the Viva Vegan taco filling; I have that book, but I haven't cooked from it yet.

  29. This is amazing! Simply amazing! I knew you could deepfry soft tacos to make hard tacos - but deepfrying? Baking is 1000x better!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Sarah,

    Yeah, I agree about the deep frying. I mean it's generally delicious, but I try to not to do it too often. I've found that you have to warm the tortillas a bit before folding them into the upside down molds, so they don't crack when you fold them in. Other than that, it's a pretty good workaround for hard tacos.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog! :)

    1. Aw Laurie, that's sweet of you. I've just been doing other things and haven't felt like posting...I'm hoping to get a few posts up over the summer though. :)
