Instructions
Cauliflower
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees
- Place cauliflower florets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat
- Generously sprinkle taco seasoning on cauliflower florets
- Roast for 25 minutes
Avocado Cilantro Cream
- Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender.
- Place in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
Corn Tortillas (warm)
- In the Microwave, put five or fewer tortillas on a microwavable plate and cover them with a damp paper towel.
- Microwave in 30-second bursts until they are warmed through. Repeat in batches of five tortillas until all your tortillas are warm.
- In the oven, wrap a stack of five or fewer tortillas in a packet of aluminum foil and put it in a pre-heated 350° oven for 15-20 minutes, until heated through.
- You can do multiple packets of five tortillas, each all at the same time.
Serving
- Place a warmed tortilla on a plated roasted cauliflower.
- Add avocado cream sauce.
- Sprinkle with cilantro.
- Serve with sliced limes on the side.
Notes
- Cut and wash the cauliflower. Leave it wet, so the seasoning sticks to the outside of the cauliflower.
- Heat the corn tortillas, and wrap them in foil to keep warm in teh oven while roasting the cauliflower.
- Serve a variety of toppings and have a taco bar, so guests can choose their own toppings.
- When building a taco, place the cauliflower first and add the other ingredients on top. Be careful not to place wet ingredients first, or it may make the tortilla soggy.
- Consider adding additional toppings:
- Vegan Sour Cream
- Fruit Salsa Recipe
- Pico de Gallo Recipe
- Tomatillo Salsa
- Tomatoes
- Micro-greens (my favorite)
- Raw onions
