Canned salmon can be an excellent and easy substitute for the whatever protein you typically put in your favorite taco recipes. This delicious dairy free option is ideal for people who do not tolerate dairy, but if you can't live without the 'real thing' its easy to replace the cashew cream with sour cream.
In a skillet heat up just enough oil to coat the bottom and fry the tortillas until warmed through and golden brown on the outside.
Remove from pan and in each tortilla divide up chunks of salmon topped with Crema and Cabbage. Finish with a few Cilantro sprigs.
Dairy Free Chipotle-Lime Crema:
In a food processor or blender add all ingredients together and puree until combined. Keep in a container with a tight fitting lid or in a convenient plastic squeeze bottle.
Vegan Cashew Cream
Pour enough hot water over cashews to cover by 1 inch and soak for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Drain cashews and blend with ½ cup cold water and salt to taste in a high powered blender (if you have a Vitamix or other professional blender that’s great, but my Nutribullet works just fine) and blend until completely smooth and creamy, store in fridge for up to a week.
This is such an easy, elegant and delicious dish it would be perfect as a weeknight supper or even as a dinner party staple. If you have any favorite risotto recipes it is so easy to add canned salmon to up the protein and make it a truly one pot meal.
2. In a Large sauté pan slowly cook onions and mushrooms in butter over medium heat. After both have completely softened add the rice and cook until toasted, but not browned.
3. Add half of the peas and chicken stalk ½ cup at a time, stirring constantly
4. Once the rice is cooked to ‘al dente’ add the cream, parmesan, lemon zest and salmon and serve immediately.
