Description

A delicious and healthy twist on traditional tacos using roasted cauliflower and a smoky chipotle sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime wedges, for serving

For the Chipotle Sauce, gather the following ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 12 tablespoons adobo sauce (from canned chipotle peppers)
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cauliflower by washing and cutting it into small florets. Toss with olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Make the chipotle sauce by combining mayonnaise, adobo sauce, lime juice, and salt in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
  3. Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or oven. Fill each tortilla with roasted cauliflower, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro.

Notes

  • Choose a firm and heavy head of cauliflower for the best texture.
  • Experiment with seasonings to enhance flavor.
  • Consider adding protein options like black beans or grilled chicken for a heartier meal.
  • Use vegan mayo for a plant-based version of the chipotle sauce.
