Buffalo Cauliflower tacos with avocado lime crema.
Ingredients
  • 1 head cauliflower, broken into bite-sized florets
  • cilantro, shredded cabbage, and jicama or radish for topping
  • tortillas
  • ¼ cup of hot sauce
  • 1½ tablespoons of olive oil, ghee, or melted butter (I used ghee)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon of dried chopped garlic or garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried chopped onion or onion powder
  • a pinch of cayenne (optional, just for those who want a real kick)
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • juice of ½ a lime
  • 4 teaspoons water
Instructions
  1. Heat your oven to 425F/220C.
  2. To make the sauce: combine the hot sauce, oil or butter, salt, vinegar, and spices in a small bowl. Mix to combine.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Spread the florets on the sheet, then spoon over the sauce. Using your hands, toss to combine, ensuring the florets are coated in sauce mixture. Spread the cauliflower in an even layer, leaving space between florets. (this ensures crisping and not steaming)
  4. Bake for 15 minutes, toss the florets, then bake for a further 5 minutes, or until cauliflower is browned in spots and still crisp.
  5. To make the crema: blend the avocado, lime juice, water, and a pinch of salt with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy. Taste for seasoning and texture (more pourable, thinner sauces will require more water).
  6. Assemble the tacos: layer cauliflower with cabbage, jicama, and cilantro. Top with crema. Enjoy!
