These vegetarian tacos will be sure to inspire your weeknight meals well beyond Meatless Monday and Taco Tuesday!

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

Vegetable oil, for frying
1/4 green cabbage, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
1/4 red cabbage, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup cilantro leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons lime juice (from 1 lime)
2 teaspoons honey
1/4 cup sour cream
Kosher salt
1 small chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
1/2 cup cilantro leaves
1 avocado, halved and pitted
2 tablespoons lime juice (from 1 lime)
1/4 cup sour cream
Kosher salt
3/4 cup white rice flour
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
Kosher salt
1 cup dark Mexican beer, such as Modelo Negra or Dos Equis Dark Lager
1 1/4 pounds bite-size cauliflower florets (about 36 florets or half a medium head cauliflower)
Twelve 5-inch white corn tortillas
Pico de gallo, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving

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.

GRILLED CAULIFLOWER TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY



Grilled Cauliflower Tacos Recipe by Tasty image

These cauliflower tacos are spiced to perfection and oh so satisfying. Cauliflower is marinated in a zesty, savory blend of lime juice, brown sugar, and tons of spices, then grilled to charred perfection. To build the tacos, layer the cauliflower on warm tortillas with plenty of the creamy, smoky poblano-pepita sauce, cabbage, cilantro, and crema.

Categories     Lunch

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

⅓ cup avocado oil, plus more for grilling
¼ cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons paprika
½ teaspoon chipotle powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
2 small heads of cauliflower, stems trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch-wide slabs
4 poblano peppers
5 cloves garlic
2 medium jalapenoes
2 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
½ cup raw pepitas
¾ cup cilantro leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped
¼ cup fresh lime juice
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon cold water, optional
12 corn tortillas, warmed
thinly sliced green cabbage
fresh cilantro
mexican crema
Lime wedge

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!
