Smoky Cauliflower Tacos garnished with Jalapeño Cilantro Sauce, Pickled Onions, and Avocado.

Smoky Cauliflower Tacos w/ Jalapeño Cilantro Sauce

The cauliflower is tossed in smoked paprika (the star of the show), onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin and a few other delicious spices to create the most flavorful taco filling. The jalapeño cilantro sauce is spicy but not overwhelming (unless you add all those jalapeño seeds!!) and is so complementary to the cauliflower tacos. I especially love this smoky cauliflower on a corn tortilla with avocado slices and pickled red onions. I hope you enjoy!
