Tacos:
- 1 head cauliflower - broken into florets (about 2 1/2 cups)
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs - gluten free if desired
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour - or gluten free flour such as chickpea flour
- 8 corn tortillas
Avocado-Lime Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice - about 1 large lime
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 large avocado - pit removed
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
Toppings:
- red cabbage
- shredded carrots
- radishes - optional
- salsa
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. In a separate medium bowl, add almond milk and flour. Stir with a fork to combine. Dip the cauliflower (one handful at a time) in the almond milk/flour mixture until coated. Then transfer to breadcrumb mix and coat cauliflower with breadcrumbs. Transfer cauliflower to the baking sheet. Repeat until all cauliflower is coated and on baking sheet. Bake cauliflower for 25-30 minutes at 400 degrees, or crispy and browned.
- While cauliflower is baking, prepare toppings and make avocado sauce. To make sauce, combine all sauce ingredients in a food processor and process until combined and smooth.
- On an ungreased skillet over medium high heat, place each tortilla for 1 minute on each side to warm. Add a layer of crispy cauliflower, and desired toppings. Top with avocado sauce and salsa. Makes 8 tacos. Serve immediately. Cauliflower will not stay crispy the next day so consume immediately.
