Instructions:

This recipe takes about to 1.5 to 2 hours to make. Serves 3 tacos.

Preheat the oven to 200F.
To make the taco shells, add the all ingredients in a blender or food processor except for the flax seed: corn, nutirional chili onion, lemon juice, cumin, chilli powder, cayenne, bell pepper, and salt.
Give it a rough whirl and then add the flax seed. Blend for a few seconds until smooth.
Place a parchment paper on a baking sheet.
Scoop out the taco mixture and flatten to make a disc.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the tacos from the baking sheet and hang them in the oven grill so that they are shaped like tacos.
Bake for another 30 to 40 minutes.

To make the filling, add all the ingredients in a food processor: sunflower seeds, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, sun-dried tomatoes, water from sun-dried tomatoes, cumin, agave nectar, and salt.
Give it a rough blend.
Chop up avocados, cilantro, and japalenos. Add to the mixture and blend but keep the chunks in it.

Once the taco shells are firm, add the filling and garnish with sour cream, sliced avocados, and spinach drenched with olive oil.

Ideas And Tips:

• You can substitute agave nectar with honey or maple syrup.

• If you are not a fan of corn, chickpeas can be used instead. Another shortcut is to use hummus as a base for the filling and then add your spices and vegetables.
