Cauliflower Tacos [vegan] by The Flexitarian

Quick and easy to make, these roasted cauliflower tacos are loaded with toppings and served with some delicious vegan smoky chipotle mayo. So good!

This recipe can accommodate different vegetables you might have in your kitchen. Sweet potatoes or butternut would both work instead of the cauliflower. You can swap some of the toppings for spinach, kale, cucumber, salad leaves, grated beetroot etc… the only rule is to keep it colourful!

How to make these cauliflower tacos

The cauliflower florets are first coated with olive oil and a fragrant spice mix and then roasted in the oven. In the meantime, you can prepare the mayo and the rest of the toppings. Here I have used sliced red cabbage, diced tomatoes, diced avocado and red pepper plus canned black beans and sweetcorn.

This rich and smoky chipotle mayo is my new favourite sauce. It goes with pretty much everything. This mayonnaise sauce gets its hot and spicy smoky flavour from smoked paprika and chipotle which is perfect for this roasted cauliflower tacos recipe. 100% plant-based it is made with aquafaba (chickpea brine). Unlike conventional mayonnaise, this vegan version requires no eggs as aquafaba acts as a thickener and gives it its silky smooth consistency.

When you are ready to serve, simply pile some of the garnishes on top of each tortilla. Add the roasted cauliflower and serve topped with the smoky chipotle mayo, chopped coriander and lime juice.

If you love Mexican-inspired food, you should also try …

My vegan Sweet Potato Tacos With Black Bean Pineapple Salsa or BBQ jackfruit nachos below. Loaded with fresh toppings, they are smothered in a delicious smoky sauce. This is the perfect dish to share with friends and family either as an appetiser or as a main course.⠀

This scrumptious vegan chocolate courgette cake is a perfect example of how delicious plant-based baking can be. Pure indulgence! This is one of the most popular dessert recipes on the blog.

The courgettes are the secret and (very) discreet ingredient. You cannot taste them but they add moisture and texture as well as 1 of your 5 a day to this scrumptious chocolate cake.

Grab the recipe on the blog. Link in my bio.

Bursting with flavours this Garlic & Tomato Pasta makes a delicious and easy summer dish that is perfect for this hot weather. You can serve it slightly warm or at room temperature. It is also scrumptious the next day as a cold leftover.

This is an old family recipe that back home we call Pâtes à l’ail. Growing up, my Sicilian great-aunt (yes I am a 1/4 Italian in case you did not know 😉) would make it for us in the summer when tomatoes are at their best. 

Like any recipe that has been passed down through generations, creating a written version of it, involved quite a few phone calls between my mum and one of our cousins. Everyone in the family makes this Garlic & Tomato Pasta from memory, adding their own twist and using approximate quantities of ingredients. My version is even more different as I have added cannellini beans for protein.

You can find the recipe on the blog. Link in my bio.
