Ingredients & Substitutions
Cauliflower is such a great base for these tacos, and it’s so good for you! If you're not a fan of cilantro, try using fresh parsley instead. And make sure to taste your seasoning as you go; everyone's spice tolerance is a little different! You can also use store-bought taco seasoning if you’re short on time.
Tips & Notes
- •I love to add a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor!
- •If you want a bit more heat, throw in some diced jalapeños when you roast the cauliflower.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add black beans for extra protein and fiber.
- •You could also use roasted sweet potatoes instead of cauliflower for a different kind of sweetness.
Storage & Freezing
These tacos are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store the roasted cauliflower in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat and assemble the tacos when you're ready!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these ahead of time?
You can roast the cauliflower ahead of time, just reheat it in the oven or a skillet before serving. The tortillas are best warmed just before eating.
