I won’t lie and tell you it’s simple to make these crispy cauliflower tacos, but a bit of time and effort sure does pay off. You can also be as simple or as complex as you like with these tacos so feel free to adjust to your fancy – I like a crazy amount going in my tacos (onions, peppers, mushrooms, salsa, guac & jalapeños) but you can easily miss any of this and just fill your tacos with your cauliflower and sauce of choice!
Now Mexican is a strong contender for my favourite cuisine, so I could eat these any day of the week, but there’s something about tacos that just rings party food. Maybe it’s the idea of it all being chucked in the middle of the table for people to scramble over, or maybe it’s my association of tacos with tequila – either way, they are a party food winner, so be sure to whip these up over a dinner party and impress your friends.
I mentioned that tacos can be as simple or complex as you’ve got the time and effort for and you can make these simple by skipping breading the cauliflower and just baking them in the spice mix. But if time permits, the crispy edge of the cauliflower makes these all the more tasty, so get breading.
