Cauliflower Tacos

Roasted Cauliflower Tacos

Hey you guys! Im so excited to finally have my act together and getting you all this cauliflower taco recipe! I wasn’t sure how big of a hit this would be with the kids, but they are loving it. It is a little spicy because of the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. If you aren’t a fan of the heat, just leave those suckers out. But this is so good!! I really hope you try it!

Taco condimentsThis recipe can be as simple as you want or need it to be. Just making the cauliflower for a meat substitute is delicious. But if you want to take it a step further, you have to try to make my Pickled Cabbage (recipe below)  and Chipotle Sauce (recipe below) as a topper. Oh, and my my Spiced up Black Beans (Recipe below) !! All. The. Things. Now, all that being said, making all of that in one day for a meal, can be a lot. Definitely make the pickled cabbage ahead of time. It needs at least 24 hours to marinate. The chipotle sauce is quick and easy and so are the beans. The sauce keeps well, so you can always make that ahead of time too. And plan on eating it with other things. Like these yummy Shrimp Bites, that can either be an appetizer (recipe on my IG page, coming soon on the blog) , or shrimp tacos. As you can tell, I LOVE me some tacos!!

Scroll down for the recipe, and let me know how you guys like them!! I can’t get enough of them!!

Cheers to happy meals,

~Jeanne
