Description

Smoky roasted cauliflower tacos loaded with crunchy slaw, creamy chipotle sauce, and sweet pineapple, all wrapped in warm corn tortillas. A flavorful, vegetarian taco night favorite.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1/2 head red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 large carrot, julienned
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 12 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1/2 cup pineapple, diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  3. Spread cauliflower on the sheet pan in a single layer and roast for 25 minutes, flipping halfway.
  4. While cauliflower roasts, combine red cabbage, carrot, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl to make slaw.
  5. In another bowl, blend mayonnaise with chipotle peppers until smooth to make chipotle sauce.
  6. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or over open flame for 30 seconds on each side.
  7. Assemble tacos by layering cauliflower, slaw, chipotle sauce, and diced pineapple in each tortilla.
  8. Serve warm with lime wedges and extra sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Double the chipotle sauce for extra drizzle or dipping.
  • Make the slaw and sauce ahead for quicker assembly.
  • Try broiling cauliflower for 2 extra minutes for added crispiness.
  • Use fresh cauliflower for best roasting results.
