Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower $2.86, large, separated into bite-size florets
- 1 flour tortilla $1.68, package, street taco size (small
- 2 bell pepper $2.96, red
- 2 Tbsp olive oil $0.19, divided
- 1 ¼ tsp smoked paprika $0.04, divided
- ¼ tsp garlic powder $0.01
- ¼ tsp salt $0.01
- 2 garlic $0.09, large cloves, crushed
- ½ cup almond $1.53, slivered, raw
- 1 tomato sauce $0.48, 8 oz can
- 2 Tbsp white vinegar $0.04
- ½ Tbsp lemon juice, about ½ of 1 lemon** $0.64
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper $0.13
- 2 Tbsp Italian flat parsley $0.09, minced
- 1 Tbsp parsley $0.09, fresh, for garnish
Instructions
- Quarter and seed bell peppers.
- In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together 1 Tbsp olive oil, ¼ tsp smoked paprika, garlic powder and salt.
- Add quartered and seeded red bell peppers to bowl and toss.
- Transfer red bell pepper quarters to baking sheet and bake in 375 degree oven for 35-40 minutes on the top rack.
- Then, to the same mixing bowl, add cauliflower florets and toss until coated. Add an extra sprinkle of salt and spread florets on a lined baking sheet and bake in 375 degree oven on bottom rack for 30 minutes or until tender and golden brown, stopping to shake/flip half way through.
- When red bell peppers are done roasting, finish making your Romesco sauce: combine roasted bell peppers, 1 Tbsp olive oil, garlic cloves, tomato sauce, white vinegar, lemon juice, 1 tsp smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper in food processor. Pulse until well-combined but still chunky.
- Add minced parsley and slivered almonds to the food processor and pulse a few times.
- Warm flour tortillas in a dry pan until lightly toasted.
- Remove cauliflower from oven. Place 3-4 florets on top of each tortilla and top with warm Romesco sauce. Garnish with extra fresh parsley and slivered almonds if you have them. Enjoy with a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime!
Notes
- *Slivered almonds are typically located in the baking aisle. Regular unsalted almonds will work in a pinch. If you have a nut allergy, you can use sunflower seeds, but I would use slightly less so the flavor doesn’t overpower the rest of the sauce.
- **Reserve the other half of your lemon and cut it into small wedges to serve with your tacos! I included the full price of the lemon for this purpose.
