crunchy chipotle slaw ingredients

How to make roasted cauliflower tacos?
- First, preheat the oven and make the dressing on top of the cauliflower in a large bowl.
- Cut the cauliflower into large pieces. The cauliflower leaves can also be roasted, and the heart can also be roasted.
- Place the cauliflower pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the large pieces on the edges and try not to overlap them. It is better to arrange them so they do not burn a few pieces. Put the cauliflower in the oven and check after about 10 minutes, turning the sheets if necessary.
Prepare the salad
- Meanwhile, grate the carrots and cabbage in a food processor or by hand, as you prefer. Separately mix the ingredients for the chipotle mayonnaise for the salad. When ready, mix with the grated vegetables. TIP: Use the same bowl you used to prepare the cauliflower.
- To serve, place roasted cauliflower on top of a warm corn tortilla and top with the salad.

Notes
Serve with:
Refried beans on the side, brown rice, or quinoa. Prepare a Jamaica or horchata agua fresca to drink with these tacos. If you need more flavor, serve them with salsa verde or pickled red onions.What do these tacos taste like?
I love any roasted vegetable and even more if it has the spicy and smoky touch of chipotle. These tacos are my version of the typical fish tacos.How to store them?
The best way to store cauliflower tacos is to store the ingredients separately. Roasted cauliflower in one bowl, crispy salad in another. Cauliflower can be reheated without any problem in a frying pan or skillet. It is best to heat it on the stove to crisp it up again. If you have leftover salad, it’s okay to save it. It tastes great on its own and is still good the next day, but it will be a little less crunchy.Nutrition
