Want to change up taco night? My kids took me to a vegan restaurant that served the most amazing cauliflower tacos. After eating them, I was inspired to find a simple cauliflower taco recipe to make at home. This vegan and vegetarian taco recipe is beyond simple to make and is packed with Mexican seasonings (thank you taco seasoning mix).
The cauliflower is tossed in taco seasoning, olive oil and lime juice, then baked until tender and slightly crispy. The cauliflower is then loaded into warmed tortillas and drizzled with a creamy sauce. Some of my favorite Mexican sauces to use on these tacos are serrano avocado sauce, creamy taco sauce, amazon sauce or even Cajun dipping sauce.
Here is your shopping list for this vegetarian taco recipe: fresh cauliflower, taco seasoning, olive oil, limes for juicing, flour or corn tortillas, fresh cilantro and your desired sauce (crema, sour cream, vegan sour cream, taco sauce, etc.).
Not only will you get the health benefits of cauliflower from this recipe, but a good feeling that you're serving your family a wholesome lunch or dinner.
