For the vegan cream, blend the almond with the cashew, salt, water, lemon juice, and coconut oil until you obtain a very smooth mixture. Set aside. For the filling, blend the tomato with the hydrated ancho chili and garlic until you get a sauce, set aside. Heat a skillet over medium heat with the oil, sauté the onion, and add the carrot and the sauce you blended earlier, cooking for about 10 minutes or until the carrot is soft. Remove and cool. On a cutting board, fill your corn tortillas with the previous preparation, form your tacos, and secure with a toothpick if necessary. Heat a skillet over medium heat with the oil, fry the tacos until crispy, remove from the frying and place on absorbent paper. Serve 3 tacos on each plate over a bed of lettuce, add pico de gallo, the cashew cream, and avocado. Enjoy.
