Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Cauliflower

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, and salt. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for about 25 minutes until golden and crispy.

2

Make the Peanut Salsa Macha

In a skillet, toast the peanuts and dried chilies until fragrant. Blend them with garlic and olive oil until smooth. Adjust with salt to taste.

3

Prepare the Salsa Verde

Boil tomatillos until soft, then blend with cilantro, lime juice, and salt to taste until smooth.

4

Make the Corn Guacamole

In a bowl, mash the avocados and mix in corn, lime juice, salt, and chopped cilantro.

5

Assemble the Tacos

Warm the corn tortillas and fill them with roasted cauliflower, drizzle with peanut salsa macha, salsa verde, and corn guacamole. Top with Valentina hot sauce to taste.
