Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower small, cut or broken into florets
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 2 tbsp adobo sauce
  • ½ cup vegan yogurt unsweetened
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp paprika

Avocado crema

  • 2 avocados ripe, peeled and pitted
  • ½ cup vegan yogurt unsweetened
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped
  • 2 limes juiced
  • 1 clove garlic peeled and minced
  • ½ tsp salt

To assemble

  • 12 tortillas up to 15
  • pickled onions
  • fresh cilantro chopped
  • jalapeños fresh or pickled, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400F. 
  • In a blender, combine the adobo sauce, peppers, yogurt, garlic, syrup, salt and paprika until a smooth sauce is formed. 
  • Add the cauliflower to a large bowl, pour the sauce over top and toss until covered. 
  • Place onto a baking sheet, and roast for 40 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the cauliflower is slightly charred. 
  • While the cauliflower bakes, make your avocado crema. Add the avocado to a bowl, and smash with a fork until smooth. Stir in the rest of the listed ingredients.
  • Prepare the tacos. To tortillas, add the avocado crema, chipotle cauliflower, followed by the pickled onions and cilantro, if desired. Enjoy immediately.
