GRILLED CAULIFLOWER TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• In a wide, shallow dish, combine the avocado oil, lime juice, brown sugar, cumin, oregano, paprika, chipotle powder, chile powder, garlic powder, and salt and whisk well. Add the cauliflower to the dish and coat each piece thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the poblano-pepita sauce, or for up to 2 hours.
• On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the poblanos, garlic, and jalapeños with 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. Roast for 30 minutes, or until the skin is beginning to pull away from the flesh of the peppers and the garlic is soft and golden brown. Add the pepitas to the pan and return to the oven for another 5-8 minutes, until beginning to brown.
• Transfer the poblanos, jalapeños, and garlic to a medium bowl and cover with a plate or plastic wrap. Set aside to cool for 30 minutes.
• Once cool enough to handle, carefully remove the skins, stem, and seeds from the poblanos and skins and stems from the jalapeños (remove the seeds too, if desired, for a more mild sauce, or keep them in for a little more heat). Peel the garlic.
• Add the poblanos, jalapeños, garlic, pepitas, cilantro, remaining tablespoon of avocado oil, the lime juice, and salt to a blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth. If the sauce is very thick, add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the consistency is smooth and spreadable. Transfer to a serving bowl and set aside until ready to serve. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Grill the cauliflower: Brush a cast-iron griddle pan with avocado oil and turn the heat to high. When the pan starts to smoke, add a few pieces of the marinated cauliflower. Grill for 7-8 minutes, until the cauliflower lifts easily from the pan and grill marks are visible. Flip and grill for another 4-5 minutes on the other side, until the cauliflower is easily pierced with a fork. Repeat with the remaining cauliflower.
• Transfer the cauliflower to a cutting board and roughly chop into ½-inch pieces. Discard any slightly tough or undercooked pieces of stem.
• Assemble the tacos: Spread about 1 tablespoon of the poblano-pepita sauce across a warm tortilla and top with cauliflower, cabbage, cilantro, and crema. Serve with lime wedges alongside.
• Store any leftover poblano-pepita sauce in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It can be served with eggs, in rice bowls, or tossed with grilled shrimp or your favorite protein.
• Enjoy!

CAULIFLOWER TACOS WITH AVOCADO CREMA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Toss together the red and green cabbage with the juice of 1 lime. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, chipotle puree, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of pepper. Toss the cauliflower florets in the spice mixture until well coated. Place in a singe layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast until well browned, 20 to 25 minutes. While the cauliflower roasts, make the avocado crema.
• Place the avocado, chopped cilantro and the juice of the remaining lime in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and use a fork to mash until the mixture is smooth.
• Heat the tortillas by placing in a dry pan over medium heat for a few seconds, until soft and pliable. Place a few cauliflower florets in each tortilla. Drizzle with the avocado crema and top with the cilantro leaves, cabbage and radishes. Add hot sauce, if desired.
• Put on a platter and garnish with lime wedges and cilantro leaves.

CRISPY CAULIFLOWER TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Heat about 2 inches vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or cast-iron skillet over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
• For the cabbage slaw: Toss together the green cabbage, red cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, honey, sour cream and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
• For the chipotle avocado sauce: Combine the chipotle in adobo sauce and the cilantro in a mini food processor, pulsing until finely chopped and scraping down the sides as needed. Add the avocado, lime juice, sour cream and 1/2 teaspoon salt and process until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
• For the crispy cauliflower: Whisk together the white rice flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the beer until smooth (the texture and consistency should resemble pancake batter).
• Dip one-third of the cauliflower florets in the batter and coat well. Allow the excess batter to drip off and carefully place cauliflower into the hot oil. Fry until cauliflower is tender and golden brown on all side, 4 to 5 minutes total.
• Transfer with a slotted spoon to the prepared baking sheet, season lightly with salt and hold in the warm oven. Bring the oil back to 350 degrees F. Repeat with the remaining cauliflower and batter and fry two more batches.
• To toast the tortillas, warm in batches in a dry large skillet over medium-low heat, 5 seconds per side, or wrap in a damp kitchen towel and microwave for 25 seconds. Wrap in a dry kitchen towel to keep warm.
• To assemble, spread a layer of the Chipotle Avocado Sauce in the center of each toasted tortilla. Top with a few pieces of Crispy Cauliflower, Cabbage Slaw and pico de gallo. Serve with lime wedges.
