Roasted Cauliflower Tacos with Salsa Macha

Ingredients
Cauliflower
- 1 head cauliflower
- ¾ tsp fine sea salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- ½ tbsp smoked paprika
- ½ tbsp ancho chile powder
- ½ tbsp chipotle chile powder
- 1 tbsp dried cilantro
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp lime juice
Peppers and Onions
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ yellow onion sliced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
To Serve
- 8 Corn tortillas
- Cotija cheese
- Sour cream we use Mexican crema
- Salsa macha
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the cauliflower into evenly sized florets then wash them in a colander under cold water. Pat dry and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the spices for the cauliflower to a small bowl and stir to combine. Add the 2 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of lime juice then mix well until it forms a thick paste.
- Add the mixture to the cauliflower and with tongs or gloved hands (our preferred method), mix the seasoning well into the cauliflower. Spread onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until tender.
- While the cauliflower is baking, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the peppers and onions and sauté until softened and browned.
- To serve, warm the corn tortillas and stuff with the roasted cauliflower, peppers, and onions. Top with cotija, sour cream, and salsa macha.
Notes
- Cauliflower Size: A small head of cauliflower will feed 4 while a large head of cauliflower can feed up to 6. There's no need to increase the spice mixture for a larger one.
