Servings: 4
Equipment
- Large rimmed baking sheet
- Mixing bowls
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. chili powder
- 1 tsp. smoked paprika
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets (about 6 to 7 cups)
- 1 (15-oz.) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 8 corn or flour tortillas, warmed
- Optional Lime Crema: sour cream or plain full-fat Greek yogurt mixed with a spritz of fresh lime juice.
Mango Salsa
- 1 cup fresh diced mango
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 2 Tbsp. minced fresh jalapeño (seeds and ribs removed) optional
- 3 Tbsp. fresh chopped cilantro
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, and salt; mix to combine. Add cauliflower florets and chickpeas and toss to coat in oil and spices. Spread on a large rimmed baking sheet, avoiding any overlap.Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until chickpeas are crisp and cauliflower is caramelized.
- Meanwhile, prepare mango salsa by combining all ingredients in a medium bowl; stir to combine. Let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
- Fill each warm tortilla with cauliflower and chickpea mixture, and top with mango salsa. If desired, add a dollop of yogurt or drizzle of your favorite sauce.
Notes
*I love adding a creamy component to these tacos, such as dollop of Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt if making vegan) or drizzle of my Green Tahini Sauce.
*You can also skip the tortilla and serve the cauliflower and chickpea mixture over a bed of quinoa topped with the mango salsa.
