Cauliflower tacos

Those cauliflower tacos are a great vegan alternative to chicken tacos. And as we all know, tacos are a very easy ‘makee-your-own’ dish. People can pick and choose what they want on it and everyone is happy. If you want to make this dish for meat-eaters, you can also use chicken (in a pan use the same spices as described below).

Wraps: The great thing about this recipe is that you can easily make it gluten-free. I used in the past corn wraps and chia wraps. They both work very well. If you want to go for a cheaper option wheat wraps (not gluten-free!) are a great option too.

Hummous: You can make your own of course. However, if you want to save time just buy some. I usually put the hummus as a base on the wrap.

Cauliflower: A medium cauliflower head is usually enough for two people (3 wraps per pax). However, you can also use a large head. You will probably have some left-over, which you can use either as a snack, a salad topping or in a dish with rice and tofu.

Avocado: Make sure your avocado is well ripe. I usually put my avocado slices on top of the hummus.

Tomatoes: Any type of tomato works. I prefer cherry tomatoes because they are slightly sweeter. Make sure to dice them in small cube, they will be easier to fit in the wraps like that.

Salad: The best to use is the standard iceberg salad. You really don’t need a lot, it is just to give your wrap some extra crush.

Pomegranate and coriander: Those two ingredients are optional, but I highly recommend them! They add a whole new set of flavours that fit the dish perfectly. The coriander needs to be fresh. I recommend peeling the pomegranate yourself, instead of buying it prepared, it will save you some money.

Instructions

Cut the cauliflower head into fleurets. Boil until soft for about 15-20 min.  Drain it and put it on an oven tray. Cover the cauliflower fleurets with the olive oil mixture describe in step 2. Grill cauliflower at 180° C for 10-15 min until golden. 

In a bowl, mix all the spices (tumeric, paprika, cumin, garlic, chili) with olive oil, salt and pepper. Use this mixture to cover the cauliflower fleurets. 

While the cauliflower fleurets are in the oven, dice the tomatoes into cubes, slice the avocado and cut the salad leafs.

Once your cauliflower fleurets are nice and golden, start preparing your wrap. On a wrap, spread about one tablespoon of hummous,  add a few fleurets, top it with salad, tomatoes and avocado. Optional: Sprinkle a few coriander leaf and some pomegrante.
