Instructions
Cauliflower Nachos
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Slice the stems off of both heads of cauliflower, then slice the heads of cauliflower in half through the middle.
- Place the cauliflower head halves, flat side down on a cutting board and cut into 1/4 inch slices.
- The cauliflower slices will naturally break into “chips” once sliced. If there are any larger pieces left, slice them in half.
- Place the cauliflower chips on a large baking sheet and toss with the olive oil and taco seasoning.
- Place in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and top with the onions, jalapenos and pepper jack cheese.
- Place back into the oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and top with the optional toppings of your choice.
Cup of Yum
Creamy Chipotle Sauce
- Add all of the ingredients to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Notes
- Nutritional information provided does not include optional toppings.
- If you want to add meat to the nachos, cook 1 lb of ground turkey, beef or chicken in a skillet on the stove over medium high heat. Once cooked through, add 2 tbsp taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water or chicken broth. Let simmer for 3-5 minutes. Add the cooked taco meat to the nachos at the same time as the jalapenos and red onions, then top with the pepper jack cheese and cook in the oven for 10 minutes.
