Ingredients
  

Cauliflower

  • 1 Head Cauliflower
  • Drizzle Neutral Vegetable Oil
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Oregano
  • 1/2 Tsp Chipotle Chili Powder

Pico de Gallo

  • 2 Large Tomatoes
  • 1 Small Jalapeño
  • 1/4 Red Onion
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt

The Rest of the Tacos

  • 4-5 Taco Shells
  • Spinach
  • Microgreens optional
  • Any other toppings you'd like!

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Cut your cauliflower into bite-sized florets. In a bowl, toss the florets with a drizzle of neutral vegetable oil, salt, and spices, until cauliflower is evenly coated.
  • On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, roasted cauliflower in the oven for about 25 minutes, or until tender but slightly browned.
  • While the cauliflower is cooking, make the pico. First, cut the jalapeño in half and remove the ribs and seeds. Then, dice the jalapeño, tomatoes, and red onion.
  • Mix all of the pico ingredients in a bowl and let rest for at LEAST 10 minutes. Taste, and adjust seasonings if necessary.
  • When cauliflower is done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  • Now, build your tacos - add on the cauliflower, spinach, pico, and any other toppings you'd like. (Guacamole or sour cream would be delicious!)
  • Serve, and enjoy!

Notes

If you don't have chipotle chili powder for the cauliflower, sub with regular chili powder.
