1 large cauliflower, roasted with taco spices
8 small tortillas
1 tbsp oil
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp garlic powder
lime juice
salt and pepper
shredded lettuce or cabbage
salsa
sour cream or avocado
Season 1 large cauliflower, roasted with taco spices with oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lime. Cook in a hot skillet until browned and cooked through.
Warm the tortillas, slice or shred the filling, and build tacos with lettuce or cabbage, salsa, sour cream, avocado, and extra lime.
Serve cauliflower tacos right away while the tortillas are warm and the filling is juicy.
Warm tortillas in a dry pan so they bend without cracking.
Keep wet toppings light so the tacos do not turn soggy.
Taste before serving and adjust with salt, pepper, citrus, herbs, or sauce depending on the dish.
Store filling separately from tortillas and toppings for up to 4 days.
Reheat the filling in a skillet with a splash of water.
Yes. Cook the filling ahead and keep toppings separate until serving.
Either works. Corn tastes more classic; flour is softer and easier to fold.
Add cayenne, chipotle powder, hot sauce, or sliced jalapeno.
Cauliflower tacos takes about 15 min prep + 25 min cook, not counting optional resting or chilling time.
