Crispy Cauliflower Tacos With Slaw Avocado Cream Recipes

CRISPY CAULIFLOWER TACOS WITH SLAW & AVOCADO CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Add the rolled oats to a food processor. Pulse 75-80 times or until a coarse meal forms. You don't want the oats to be a fine flour, but rather a texture similar to panko bread crumbs. Transfer the oats to a large, shallow bowl or dish. Add in the cilantro, chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and sea salt. Gently mix to incorporate spices.
• Add the almond milk, brown rice flour, and lime juice to a large bowl and whisk until smooth.
• Place about a handful of cauliflower florets into the almond milk batter, toss to coat, shake off excess batter, and transfer to the oat and spice mixture. Toss the pieces until coated and transfer to a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the remainder of the cauliflower.
• Bake the cauliflower for 25-30 minutes or until crispy and golden, tossing halfway through baking.
• Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
• While the cauliflower is baking, make the cabbage slaw by adding the purple cabbage, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, agave nectar, and salt to a small bowl. Toss to coat and let rest, stirring occasionally.
• Add the flesh of the avocado, lime juice, cilantro leaves, and salt to a food processor. Process for 3-4 minutes or until smooth and resembling a texture similar to mayo. You can either dollop the tacos with the cream or transfer it to a ziploc bag, snip off a corner, and pipe the cream across the tacos.
• Heat each corn tortilla in a small skillet over medium heat for 20-30 seconds on each side. Fill with 3-4 pieces of the cauliflower, top with a small handful of cabbage slaw, and drizzle with avocado cream. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with lime wedges.*
• Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Toss together the red and green cabbage with the juice of 1 lime. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, chipotle puree, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of pepper. Toss the cauliflower florets in the spice mixture until well coated. Place in a singe layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast until well browned, 20 to 25 minutes. While the cauliflower roasts, make the avocado crema.
• Place the avocado, chopped cilantro and the juice of the remaining lime in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and use a fork to mash until the mixture is smooth.
• Heat the tortillas by placing in a dry pan over medium heat for a few seconds, until soft and pliable. Place a few cauliflower florets in each tortilla. Drizzle with the avocado crema and top with the cilantro leaves, cabbage and radishes. Add hot sauce, if desired.

CRISPY CAULIFLOWER TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Heat about 2 inches vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or cast-iron skillet over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
• For the cabbage slaw: Toss together the green cabbage, red cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, honey, sour cream and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
• For the chipotle avocado sauce: Combine the chipotle in adobo sauce and the cilantro in a mini food processor, pulsing until finely chopped and scraping down the sides as needed. Add the avocado, lime juice, sour cream and 1/2 teaspoon salt and process until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
• For the crispy cauliflower: Whisk together the white rice flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the beer until smooth (the texture and consistency should resemble pancake batter).
• Dip one-third of the cauliflower florets in the batter and coat well. Allow the excess batter to drip off and carefully place cauliflower into the hot oil. Fry until cauliflower is tender and golden brown on all side, 4 to 5 minutes total.
• Transfer with a slotted spoon to the prepared baking sheet, season lightly with salt and hold in the warm oven. Bring the oil back to 350 degrees F. Repeat with the remaining cauliflower and batter and fry two more batches.
• To toast the tortillas, warm in batches in a dry large skillet over medium-low heat, 5 seconds per side, or wrap in a damp kitchen towel and microwave for 25 seconds. Wrap in a dry kitchen towel to keep warm.
• To assemble, spread a layer of the Chipotle Avocado Sauce in the center of each toasted tortilla. Top with a few pieces of Crispy Cauliflower, Cabbage Slaw and pico de gallo. Serve with lime wedges.

• Remove oil from the pan and wipe dry. Toast tortillas if desired by heating in the pan over medium heat for 30 seconds per side.
• Spoon aioli onto tortillas. Add cauliflower, pico, and shallots. Top with Parmesan cheese.
