Crunchy Cauliflower Tacos With Avocado, Lime & Cilantro Dressing

At first, this looks like a lot of ingredients and steps; but we promise these are actually very easy to put together! We love making our own gluten-free tortillas (recipe below) but if you prefer you can find traditional Mexican tortillas made from organic, ground corn flour. These are gluten-free but can be hard to find. Just be wary of store-bought tortillas as they are often made with GMO corn and have added gluten, preservatives and additives. 

CRISPY SPICED CAULIFLOWER 

• 1 small head of cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets
• 1 cup almond meal 
• Handful of fresh cilantro, roughly chopped 
• 2 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp ground turmeric 
• 1 cup coconut milk or almond milk
• 1/2 cup brown rice flour
• Juice of 1 lime 
• Salt & pepper to taste 

ZESTY CABBAGE SLAW 

• 1/2 red cabbage, thinly sliced
• juice of 1 lime
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• Salt & pepper to taste 

AVOCADO, LIME & CILANTRO DRESSING

• 1 avocado
• Handful of fresh cilantro 
• Juice of 1 lime
• ¼ tsp sea salt

Method

1. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). 
2. Mix almond meal and ground spices in a medium-sized bowl to make a crumb. 
3. In another bowl, mix together almond or coconut milk, brown rice flour and lime juice to make batter. Mix well.  
4. Coat cauliflower florets in batter, a few at a time, then toss in almond meal spice mix. 
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. 
6. While your crispy cauliflower is baking, prep your avocado dressing by adding avocado, cilantro, lime and salt to blender or food processor and blend until smooth. 
7. Prep your cabbage slaw by mixing together sliced cabbage, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper in a bowl and allow to sit while cauliflower bakes. 
8. Once your cauliflower is crisp, remove from oven and assemble your tacos!
