These Easy Crispy Cauliflower Tacos with Lime Vegan Mayo Dressing are SO SIMPLE

Perfect for nights where you want to throw something in the oven and come back when it’s cooked. These crispy cauliflower florets work perfectly in tacos, or soft wraps, filled with whatever salad you have in your fridge. I’ve chosen a simple quick red onion pickle along with lettuce, and a lime mayonnaise.

Lets get into the recipe

Vegenaise- I’ve chose Follow Your Heart Avocado Oil Vegenaise for this recipe (as it was with a project with them). Top tip when mixing with the lime juice, use a small spoon and whip it up to make it extra smooth and delicious.

Soft shell wraps- I’ve used a plain tortilla wrap which is just popped on an open flame to toast and set them into the taco shape. You can use crispy taco shells if you would prefer.

Cauliflower- If you’re making for 2 as the recipe suggests, one large cauliflower head will work. But if you’re cooking for more, remember to double up!

Cooking tips:

• Pickling-  if you’re pickling, prep this step first by thinly slicing the red onion then pickling in a jar mixed with the vinegar, water, salt and sugar.
• The texture of the batter should be that of a pancake, runny but thick enough that it’ll coat the cauliflower without leaving the top bare (adjust this by simply adding a little more flour or oat milk depending on whether it’s too thick or thin)
• You can fill these tacos with any salad you have available, lettuce, spinach, rocket, you name it! I’ve sprinkled sesame seeds on top however this isn’t essential.
