Ingredients
Scale
Pickled Red Onion
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Cauliflower
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 2 tsp taco seasoning
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt
- Pepper
Cilantro Lime Tahini Sauce
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1/2 cup cold water
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 tsp hot sauce
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 2 handfuls cilantro leaves
- 1/4 tsp salt
Finishing Touches
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 avocado, peeled and sliced
- handful of cilantro, chopped finely
Instructions
- The night before (if possible), prepare the pickled red onion. Stuff onion slices into a 12-16 oz mason jar. Add vinegar, water, and maple syrup to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and carefully pour hot liquid over the onions in the jar. Cover and place in the fridge.
- Preheat oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss cauliflower in avocado oil, spices, and a generous shake of salt and pepper. Spread out on baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- While cauliflower is in the oven, prepare the sauce. Add all sauce ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend until well combined, smooth, and creamy.
- Heat tortillas over the open flame of a gas stove top burner. Pay careful attention as not to burn them, and flip once you see a few bubbles – about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Top each tortilla with 4-5 cauliflower pieces, pickled red onions, sliced avocado, and a big drizzle of cilantro lime tahini sauce. Enjoy warm.
Notes
- Pickled red onions will keep for a few weeks in the fridge. Add them to other meals like salads, grain bowls, or more tacos.
