Crispy Baked Cauliflower Tacos Recipe: Healthy Vegetarian Taco Night by Donna John


Crispy Baked Cauliflower Tacos Recipe: Healthy Vegetarian 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.

If you have time, make your own homemade taco seasoning blend. It's easy! Store the spice blend in an airtight container to use in other recipes.
