⅛ teaspoon Cloves
½ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions
For the guajillo paste
Blend ingredients well in the blender.
For the walnut chorizo
Pulse the walnuts and pumpkinseeds together in the for processor until they are crumbly but not powdery. Put nut/ seed mixture into a mixing bowl and mix the rest of the ingredients by hand until well incorporated.
For the raw vegan sour cream:
Puree all ingredients well until smooth.
For the kiwi salsa
Chop and mix all ingredients together by hand, or pulse a few times in the food processor.
For the guacamole
Mash everything together until smooth.
To assemble
To assemble the taco, carefully remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and discard. Then start to remove leaves carefully to use as the shells. I like to chop off the stem of the cabbage as this helps the leaves separate from the cabbage without tearing. Expect to lose a few leaves in this process as it can be tricky at first.
Place some of the chorizo inside the shell and top with the cashew sour cream, guacamole and kiwi salsa. Enjoy!
