Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower + Quinoa Tacos
Meatless, healthy, flavorful and better than anything I've found on a restaurant menu!
Servings: 4 Servings
Calories: 329kcal
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower about 3 cups
- 1 15 oz can chickpeas, drained + rinsed
- 1/4 cup vegan buffalo sauce I'm loving Tessamae's
- 1 large avocado mashed
- 1 lime
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt + cracked pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
- 8 corn tortillas I like the sprouted ones from Food for Life
- Garnishes: sliced red cabbage sliced jalapeno
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
- Chop cauliflower in small florets and add to a large bowl. Pour in chickpeas along with the buffalo sauce and toss to combine. Transfer this mixture to the baking sheet and roast for 20 - 25 minutes until cauliflower it starting to brown and chickpeas are starting to crisp up (stir halfway through).
- Allow the veggies to cool while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- Add avocado to a bowl and mash with a fork until smooth. Squeeze lime into the bowl and sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of the avocado sauce on each tortilla. Top each with 2 tablespoons of quinoa and some of the cauli-chickpea mixture. Garnish with desired veggies and enjoy!
Notes
Turn it into a salad! The filling also makes a delicious salad topping. Use chopped romaine, the cauli-chickpea mixture, quinoa, diced avocado and finely sliced cabbage. Toss with lime juice and olive oil and enjoy!
