Cauliflower is trending these days and my delicious cauliflower tacos are my favorite cauliflower recipe EVER! The reasons why I adore this meal so much is that it tastes absolutely heavenly, is low carb, and gluten free. The cauliflower slightly resembles chicken, to me, and is surprisingly filling. You really can’t go wrong when you add my guacamole on top for some extra delicious flavor!
Best SellersEven my picky toddler ate a bite of her cauliflower taco! I’m usually one of those people that avoids cauliflower because of its rough texture and bland taste, but eating it seasoned and coated in olive oil shines a new light on cauliflower, in my mind. I now not only LIKE cauliflower, but I LOVE it and I cannot get enough of these insanely delicious cauliflower tacos! Coated in olive oil and spices, my swoon-worthy cauliflower tacos are SO delicious—your family will definitely beg for seconds!
How to Make the Best Cauliflower Tacos
To make the best cauliflower tacos, preheat the oven and line a baking sheet with foil.
Add the cauliflower, olive oil, chili powder, dried oregano, garlic powder, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper to a large bowl and mix until well incorporated.
Pour the mixture onto the baking sheet and bake until lightly charred and cooked.
CILANTRO-LIME SAUCE
To prepare cilantro-lime the sauce, add the Greek yogurt and sour cream to a blender or food processor. Add the jalapeño, cilantro, Worcestershire sauce, lime juice, salt, and pepper and blend until smooth and creamy.
TO ASSEMBLE
Warm the tortillas by placing them on a frying pan over high heat. After 30 seconds to 1 minute, flip them over.
Evenly spread the cauliflower mixture in the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle the cabbage, cheddar, and avocado on top. Drizzle the sauce over the tacos and serve warm.
