    Roasted Cauliflower Tacos with Spicy Avocado Lime Crema

    Roasted Cauliflower Tacos with Spicy Avocado Lime Crema. VEGAN and can be gluten-free with GF tortillas. Crispy + Spicy + Savory + Lime-y with a tangy avocado lime crema. YUM! From The Glowing Fridge. #vegan #tacos #healthy

    Crispy. Spicy. Crunchy. Lime-y. Savory. Creamy.

    TACOS.

    Finally, a legit taco recipe that you should probably make this weekend – my Roasted Cauliflower Tacos with Spicy Avocado Lime Crema!

    I shared those tempeh taco boats a while back, which are delish but they’re in lettuce cups… so we don’t consider them real tacos, right? Sure I love those kind of eats in the summer because of their freshness and lightness… but what are tacos without tortillas?

    Sometimes, you just need the real deal.

    The versatility of cauliflower is amazing and undeniably perfect for healthy vegan (oil-free!!) tacos. Since going vegan, I’ve tried a few different varieties for taco filling – all veggies, mushrooms, beans etc. and while they’re all yummy – I wanted to create something unique and fun aside from my usual.

    Roasting bite-size cauliflower florets in a blend of taco spices, coated in almond milk makes them crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.They become crunchy and roasted to golden perfection. Add white beans for extra plant protein, some tasty toppings, drizzle LOTS of ‘spicy avocado lime crema’ then bite and savor and repeat. YUM.

    I hope you guys love these little beauties as much as I do. The tangy and ‘spicy avocado lime crema’ pulls all the flavors together and adds that essential creaminess and extra lime-y-ness. You MUST make it for these tacos! I even added some hidden spinach to the recipe – you will not taste it one bit. Shh!

    For the tortillas, I chose mini corn tortillas I picked up at Trader Joes. This recipe will fill about 6 mini tortillas but feel free to use any kind you like. These would pair well with my Fiesta Lime and Black Bean Rice.

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 head cauliflower, florets
    • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons plain almond milk
    • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
    • 1/2 garlic clove, minced
    • 2 teaspoons chili powder
    • 1 teaspoon cumin
    • 1 teaspoon paprika
    • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
    • pinch of black pepper
    • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
    • 1/2 cup white beans
    • 1 cup purple cabbage, thinly slices
    • fresh cilantro, for topping
    • fresh lime juice, for topping
    • jalapeño slices, for topping (optional)

    Spicy Avocado Lime Crema

    • 1 cup spinach
    • 1 ripe avocado
    • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
    • 2 slices of jalapeño (optional)
    • 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    • 1/4 cup water
    • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
    • pinch black pepper

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    2. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond milk, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, sea salt, pepper and cayenne until smooth. Add in the cauliflower florets and mix until all are well coated in the mixture.
    3. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and soft.
    4. In a food processor, blend all of the ingredients for the Spicy Avocado Lime Crema until smooth and creamy. Texture will be thick, similar to mayo.
    5. Assemble the tacos. I started with the cabbage, cauliflower, white beans, more cabbage, cilantro, jalapeño and then the lime crema. A good squeeze of fresh lime juices adds a nice touch as well!
    6. Enjoy!

    Notes

    • Makes 6 mini tortillas.
    • Leftovers stay good up to 2 days in refrigerator.

      Can the crema be made a day in advance?

        Yes, I think one day in advance would be fine, but not any longer than that, especially if you want it for leftovers too.

      Had the chance to try these and they are excellent! The cauliflower had amazing texture, and the avocado crema added an excellent flavor. Really great idea throwing in white beans, they really make a great addition. Beautiful recipe!

      Do you just soak and then cook the white beans?

        Hi Davina – I buy them canned (they’re already cooked) but yes if you are buying them dry then you need to soak and then cook them but I’m not positive on how long that takes. I’ve heard soaking and cooking them fresh at home makes a big difference in the taste so would be something good to look into!

what are you guys up to today?! I’m installing our new shower filter that I can’t wait to share about, running errands, cleaning, thinking about dinner, the usual Sunday things 💗💗💗
    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
