Spicy Sweet Cauliflower Tacos


Have you heard I'm obsessed with Cauliflower? I swear sometimes it tastes like meat. I love it because it takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it in, and it's so healthy. This recipe gets it crispy and delicious. Inspiration came from a number of recipes I found online but huge shout out to Eating Well for the Chipolte Lime sauce.  This was a combo of things we found fresh at our farmers market this season, but things you should be able to find year round. 


Spicy Sweet Cauliflower Tacos
  • ¼ cup lime juice (from about 2 limes)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chipotles in adobo sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon honey
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into small bite sized floret
  • 1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • ½ cup crumbled queso fresco
  • 1 cup Sliced red cabbage
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup micro greens
  • 4-5 radishes thinly sliced (cut in half if large)
  • 1/2 cup green salsa/hot sauce of some sort (I love herdez Salsa Verde, and recently found a hatch green chile salsa in a jar I loved) 


  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  2. Combine lime juice, chipotles, honey, garlic and salt in a blender. Process until mixed together well. 
  3. Place cauliflower in a large bowl (microwave safe, this comes in handy later), add the sauce and stir to cover and coat. 
  4. Transfer to the baking sheet. Sprinkle onion on top.
  5. Roast, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is browned in spots, but tender, and the onion is cooked down. This takes about 20 minutes.
  6. In the same bowl you tossed the cauliflower in, add your beans and toss around to soak up any of the sauce left. Heat in the microwave for about a minute, then mash beans with a fork so they smooth out. 
  7. Heat tortillas either on a grill, directly on the gas stove top or in a pan. Do not take the microwave route or the taco shells won't hold up! 
  8. To make a taco: Add mashed beans, then cauliflower and onions, top with cheese, cabbage, avocado, micro greens, radishes and salsa or hot sauce. 
**Makes 4 servings
**2 on Bryce's Dish scale since I reuse the bowl!
