Have you ever had crispy cauliflower tacos? If not, you’re missing out! They are seriously so good and go with anything and everything!
For these, I served with a simple chipotle Lime Crema, and it balanced it all out just perfectly.
The trick to getting the cauliflower nice and crispy is coating it in a flour and milk concoction with a few delicious spices and then roasting it up at 450 degrees until golden and oh so delicious! (about 35 minutes total)
If you want to keep your tortillas nice and warm before serving, I would suggest using a tortilla warmer of sorts.
This one from Dexas is my favorite because it really locks in the heat, keeps them warm & ready and is microwave and dishwasher safe!
If your tortillas happen to cool off, simply pop the entire container in the microwave and warm em up! So easy and so convenient. It’s also really easy to clean like all Dexas products are. Really loving it! It can also be used for pita bread, pancakes, crepes, etc!
All you need for the Chipotle Lime Crema is:
- greek yogurt
- lime juice
- chipotle paste (or canned chipotle chiles in adobo)
- salt
Simply combine all crema ingredients in a bowl, blender, or food processor and blend until smooth.
*If you are using the chipotle paste, there is no need to use a blender and can add everything to a bowl and just stir together!
We like ours extra spicy, however, feel free to adjust the amount of heat to your liking. That’s what I love about this crema recipe, it’s a super easy thing to adjust!
Serve these Cauliflower tacos with any and all toppings of choice! I typically like serving with corn tortillas, but flour would work also, jalapeños, radishes, cilantro, lime, and avocado. ENJOYYYYYY
