Method

Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Roast the Cauliflower

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the cauliflower into small florets. In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the cauliflower is evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Bake

    Spread the seasoned cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden and tender, stirring halfway through.

Chipotle Mayo

  1. 3

    Make the Chipotle Mayo

    In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, and lime juice until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Cilantro Chimichurri

  1. 4

    Prepare the Chimichurri

    In a food processor, combine the cilantro leaves, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and salt. Pulse until it reaches a fine consistency. Set aside.

Corn Guacamole

  1. 5

    Make the Corn Guacamole

    In a medium bowl, mash the ripe avocados using a fork or a potato masher. Stir in the corn kernels, lime juice, salt, and diced red onion. Mix until well combined.

Taco Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side. To assemble, place a generous amount of roasted cauliflower on each tortilla, top with chipotle mayo, cilantro chimichurri, corn guacamole, and a drizzle of Valentina hot sauce to taste.
