Method

Cauliflower Preparation

  1. 1

    Roast the Cauliflower

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with olive oil, cumin, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.

Oaxacan Cheese Preparation

  1. 2

    Prepare the Oaxacan Cheese

    While the cauliflower is roasting, shred the Oaxacan cheese using a box grater or food processor. Set aside.

Smashed Avocado Preparation

  1. 3

    Make Smashed Avocado

    In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with a fork. Stir in lime juice and salt until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

Toasted Cumin Cream Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare Toasted Cumin Cream

    In a small bowl, mix sour cream, cumin, and lime juice together until smooth. Set aside.

Salsa Fresca Preparation

  1. 5

    Make Salsa Fresca

    Chop the tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro finely. In a bowl, combine the chopped ingredients with lime juice and salt. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Sesame Candied Walnuts Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare Sesame Candied Walnuts

    In a skillet over medium heat, combine walnuts, maple syrup, and sesame seeds. Stir constantly for about 5-7 minutes or until the walnuts are toasted and the mixture is caramelized. Remove from heat and allow to cool before chopping coarsely.

Taco Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave. On each tortilla, layer roasted cauliflower, shredded Oaxacan cheese, smashed avocado, toasted cumin cream, salsa fresca, and sesame candied walnuts. Serve immediately and enjoy your Roasted Cauliflower Tacos GRANDE!
