Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using fresh cauliflower for its crunch, but you can also try this recipe with broccoli or even chickpeas for a different twist. For the tortillas, I usually go for corn since they’re naturally gluten-free. If you want an extra kick, try adding some pickled jalapeños on top!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to drizzle a little extra lime juice over everything before serving – it really brightens the flavors!
- •If you want to add even more flavor, try marinating the cauliflower in the spices for 30 minutes before roasting.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I add sautéed bell peppers for an extra layer of flavor and color.
- •If I'm in the mood for something different, I’ll swap the cauliflower for roasted sweet potatoes.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat the cauliflower in the oven or on the stovetop, but I recommend assembling the tacos fresh each time for the best texture.
