Chipotle Cauliflower Tacos

Ingredients

  • Tacos
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets (about 6 cups chopped)

  • 1 yellow onion, chopped

  • 1 poblano pepper, sliced

  • 2-3 chipotle peppers in adobo, chopped

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/2 cup red enchilada sauce

  • 8-12 corn tortillas, warmed

  • 1 cup grilled or roasted corn

  • smashed avocado, cilantro, and/or pumpkin seeds

  • 1/2 cup crumbled cotija or feta cheese

  • Creamy Jalapeño Verde
  • 1/2 cup olive oil, or avocado oil mayo

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 jalapeños, seeded if desired

  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro

  • 1/4 cup roughly chopped chives or green onion

  • 1 clove garlic, grated

  • 2 teaspoons honey

  • 1/4 cup lime juice

Directions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the cauliflower, poblano, and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is charring, about 5 minutes. Add the chipotle peppers, enchilada sauce, oregano, salt, and 1/3 cup water. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the Jalapeño Verde. Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt.
  • To serve, stuff the avocado, corn, and cauliflower into the warmed tortillas. Top with jalapeño verde sauce and crumbled cheese.
