- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 Tbsp. fresh dill
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp. granulated garlic
- 1/2 tsp. onion powder
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt + 1/4 tsp. black pepper
Optional Additions
- tortillas or tortilla chips, chopped romaine lettuce, cotija cheese, and/or avocado.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss cauliflower with 2 Tbsp. of the oil and taco seasoning. (Note: most taco seasonings are salted, however if yours is not, add 1/2 tsp. kosher salt.)Arrange on a rimmed baking sheet, avoiding any overlap; bake for 30 to 35 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until tender and charred in some spots.
- Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 Tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, cook until soft, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add adobo sauce, garlic, and cumin; cook 1 minute, stirring often. Add black beans, tomatoes, corn, and 1/2 tsp. kosher salt; simmer until mixture reduces, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in cilantro and lime juice.
- Prepare Jalapeño Ranch by combining all dressing ingredients in a food processor; process until smooth.
- Prepare bowls by dividing black bean mixture evenly into each of 4 bowls. Top evenly with cauliflower and additional toppings of choice. Drizzle Jalapeño Ranch dressing overtop.*Note: all of these components are also amazing as taco fillings! Just tuck inside a toasted tortilla and voila.
