These veggie tacos get their smoky flavor from chipotle salsa and roasted corn. If you can’t find frozen roasted corn, cook regular frozen corn in a nonstick skillet over medium-high until slightly blackened.

Ingredients

  • 1 10- to 12-oz. package fresh cauliflower florets
  • ½ of a medium red onion, thinly sliced (1 cup)

Great tacos, though will roast cauliflower mixture a little longer next time. Casa Martinez brand Chipotle Fire-roasted Salsa (medium) worked beautifully.

These taste like street tacos from a restaurant. The flavors mix so well together. Really easy to make too! Definitely adding this to the rotation.

Very easy to make! The chipotle salsa and fresh cabbage really go well together! I might try the cauliflower in the air fryer next time. You could make the leftovers into a burrito bowl too.

Can we taco ’bout how delicious these look? I love how cauliflower can take on spice and the shortcut of using jarred salsa to season this recipe!
