1. 1Set the nuts to soak in a bowl of water 2-8 hours before preparing the meat. Preheat the oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2. 2Finely chop the cauliflower into rice-sized pieces, or pulse in the food processor until the desired consistency. Toss with the oil and spread onto the baking sheet in an even layer.
3. 3Bake for 18 minutes, stirring halfway through. While the cauliflower rice is cooking, prepare the guacamole and taco meat.
4. 4Cut the avocado into large chunks and place into a small bowl.
5. 5Add the lime juice and mash the avocado to a chunky puree or your preferred consistency. Stir in the cilantro, jalapeno, onion and spices. Set aside.
6. 6Remove the nuts from the water and place into a small food processor. Discard the water. Pulse the nuts until theyve reached a ground meat consistency, I find about 5-7 pulses works.
7. 7Transfer to a bowl and stir in the salt, cumin, garlic powder, and red chili powder. Set aside.
8. 8When the cauliflower is done, transfer to a mixing bowl while still warm and stir in the lime, cilantro, and salt.
9. 9To assemble the bowls, layer 1 cup of the cauliflower rice in a bowl with taco nut meat, a dollop of guacamole, fresh tomatoes, and a sprinkling of fresh cilantro.
10. 10Serve immediately with an additional slice of lime if desired.
