Preparation
For the corn tortillas:
In a high powered blender, add corn, ground flax, salt and water. Blend until smooth. Spread into even rounds on a dehydrator tray about 1/4 inch thick. Dehydrate at 115ºF for 8-10 hours or until crispy.
Alternatively, this can be done in an oven on the lowest temperature for about 1 hour. They are done when crispy.
For the cashew cheese:
Blend cashews and water in a high power blender until smooth. Place at room temperature, in a large, wide-mouthed glass jar, covered overnight to ferment lightly. After 8 hours, add the herbs, seasonings, red pepper and salt.
For the fresh vegetables:
Sprinkle chopped tomatoes and Thai basil with aminos and a touch of olive oil.
To assemble, take a corn tortilla and spread cashew cheese on one side. Garnish with shredded cabbage and tomato mixture. Serve with fresh avocado slices and hemp seeds.
