Easy Cauliflower Tacos Recipes

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• In a small bowl or jar, combine the ground cumin, paprika, chilli powder, garlic powder and salt, and stir to combine.
• In a large bowl, add the cauliflower, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with spice mixture, and toss to combine using your hands or a spoon. (If you don't like things spicy, only use half or a portion of the spice blend.) Once combined, transfer cauliflower to a large baking sheet, covering roughly 3/4 of the baking sheet.
• In the same bowl used for the cauliflower, add the strained and rinsed black beans, and toss to combine using your hands or a spoon, allowing them to pick up any of the remaining spices in the bowl. Once combined, transfer the black beans to the same baking sheet with the cauliflower, covering the remaining 1/4 of the baking sheet.
• Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and allow to cook for 20-25 minutes until the cauliflower is tender and the black beans have popped open, tossing them in the pan halfway through. (If you want the cauliflower extra brown and crispy, turn the oven to broil and allow to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.)
• While the cauliflower is cooking, in a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice and a pinch of salt, taste, and adjust seasoning as needed. Set aside.
• With roughly 5 minutes remaining on the cauliflower, prepare the tortillas. Heat a heavy bottom or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, heat the corn tortillas for roughly 30-45 seconds per side, until toasted and golden brown.
• To serve, layer tortillas with cauliflower and bean mixture, shredded cabbage, cilantro, avocado, cilantro-lime sauce, and an additional squeeze of lime.
• Any leftover black beans, cauliflower or tortillas can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

CAULIFLOWER TACOS WITH AVOCADO CREMA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Toss together the red and green cabbage with the juice of 1 lime. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, chipotle puree, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of pepper. Toss the cauliflower florets in the spice mixture until well coated. Place in a singe layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast until well browned, 20 to 25 minutes. While the cauliflower roasts, make the avocado crema.
• Place the avocado, chopped cilantro and the juice of the remaining lime in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and use a fork to mash until the mixture is smooth.
• Heat the tortillas by placing in a dry pan over medium heat for a few seconds, until soft and pliable. Place a few cauliflower florets in each tortilla. Drizzle with the avocado crema and top with the cilantro leaves, cabbage and radishes. Add hot sauce, if desired.
• Put on a platter and garnish with lime wedges and cilantro leaves.

EASY CAULIFLOWER TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Toss cauliflower, onion, oil, chili powder, salt and pepper together in a large bowl until well combined. Spread in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast until deeply brown in spots and tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; add lime juice and toss to coat.
• Divide the cauliflower-onion mixture evenly among tortillas (about 1/2 cup per tortilla). Top each with 2 avocado wedges. Top with radish slices and cilantro, if desired.

CRISPY CAULIFLOWER TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Toss cauliflower with olive oil, both chili powders, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cauliflower is tender, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine tomatoes, onion, capers, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper for pico in one bowl. Combine mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, and pepper for aioli in another bowl. Place both bowls in the fridge to let flavors blend until everything else is ready.
• Heat about 1 inch oil in a small pan over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Pat shallots dry with a paper towel, then lower into the oil; fry until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Remove oil from the pan and wipe dry. Toast tortillas if desired by heating in the pan over medium heat for 30 seconds per side.
• Spoon aioli onto tortillas. Add cauliflower, pico, and shallots. Top with Parmesan cheese.

CRISPY CAULIFLOWER TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Heat about 2 inches vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or cast-iron skillet over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
• For the cabbage slaw: Toss together the green cabbage, red cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, honey, sour cream and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
• For the chipotle avocado sauce: Combine the chipotle in adobo sauce and the cilantro in a mini food processor, pulsing until finely chopped and scraping down the sides as needed. Add the avocado, lime juice, sour cream and 1/2 teaspoon salt and process until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
• For the crispy cauliflower: Whisk together the white rice flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the beer until smooth (the texture and consistency should resemble pancake batter).
• Dip one-third of the cauliflower florets in the batter and coat well. Allow the excess batter to drip off and carefully place cauliflower into the hot oil. Fry until cauliflower is tender and golden brown on all side, 4 to 5 minutes total.
• Transfer with a slotted spoon to the prepared baking sheet, season lightly with salt and hold in the warm oven. Bring the oil back to 350 degrees F. Repeat with the remaining cauliflower and batter and fry two more batches.
• To toast the tortillas, warm in batches in a dry large skillet over medium-low heat, 5 seconds per side, or wrap in a damp kitchen towel and microwave for 25 seconds. Wrap in a dry kitchen towel to keep warm.
• To assemble, spread a layer of the Chipotle Avocado Sauce in the center of each toasted tortilla. Top with a few pieces of Crispy Cauliflower, Cabbage Slaw and pico de gallo. Serve with lime wedges.
