Ingredients
For the tacos
- 2 small-medium heads cauliflower cut into bite sized florets that are about the same size
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin ground
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 cup cabbage red, thinly shredded
- ½ tablespoon lime juice (about ¼ lime)
- corn tortilla for serving, warm
- avocado for serving, diced
- queso fresco for serving (omit if vegan, or cotija cheese
- lime for serving, wedges
For the crema
- 1 cup cashew nuts raw
- 1 cup cilantro packed,
- ¾ cup water
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Prepare the cauliflower. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line 2 medium-large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss together the cauliflower and olive oil until thoroughly coated.
- In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, ancho chili powder, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper until combined.
- Add the seasoning mix to the cauliflower and toss together until fully coated.
- Add the cauliflower to the prepared baking sheets and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until fork tender. If the baking sheets are on different racks, switch them to the opposite rack halfway through so they roast evenly.
- While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the red cabbage. In a small bowl, mix the cabbage and lime juice to coat. Set aside until ready to serve.
- While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the cashew crema. Add all the ingredients for the crema to a large blender. Blend until completely smooth, about 1-5 minutes depending on the power of your blender. Pour into a small bowl and set aside until ready to serve.
- Assemble the tacos by topping warm corn tortillas with roasted cauliflower, red cabbage, diced avocados, cashew crema, queso fresco or cotija cheese, and chopped cilantro.
Notes
- Try to cut the cauliflower florets all the same size so they roast evenly.
- Shred the cabbage as thinly as you can so that the slaw is easy to eat in tacos.
- To keep the tortillas warm while you heat them all up, I highly recommend putting them in a tortilla warmer or covering them in a clean kitchen towel and placing them in a large zip top storage bag to keep in the heat and moisture. This will keep them pliable and hot!
