Spicy Cauliflower Tacos with Tangy Avocado Crema

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Cauliflower can do no wrong in my book! She can be turned into a creamy carbonara sauce, smothered in Gruyere for my cauliflower gratin, or simply roasted whole and served as a vegetarian entrée.

I’m always looking for fun new ways to replace meat with cauliflower in my recipes. After all, the multitasking cruciferous vegetable is naturally high in fiber and B-vitamins! I’m a big believer in the idea that food can be the best medicine. I think we could all use an extra boost of nutrients in our lives!

Since we take taco Tuesdays VERY seriously in my house, I decided it was time to get back into taco recipe testing. I came up with these brilliant Spicy Cauliflower Tacos that are loaded with chipotle slaw, tomato salsa, and a silky smooth avocado crema. You’re going to love these!!

These tacos are insanely easy to make and you’ll feel good knowing they’re chock-full of vegetables!
