Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk or your favorite non-dairy milk
  • ¾ cup chickpea flour
  • 1 ¼ cup cornmeal
  • 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 2 tablespoon nutritional yeast flakes
  • 1 medium-sized head cauliflower stem and leaves removed
  • 12 6-8 inch corn tortillas gluten-free if needed
  • 3 cups purple cabbage shredded
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • Drizzle Chipotle Lime Dressing optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • To cut the cauliflower, slice it the way you would slice a loaf of bread, about ½ to ¾ inch thick. Break about any slices that seem too large.
  • In a shallow bowl, mix together the chickpea flour and almond milk. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to thicken slightly.
  • In another shallow bowl, mix together the cornmeal, nutritional yeast, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Dip each cauliflower piece in the chickpea flour mixture, then dredge them through the cornmeal mixture.
  • Place the cauliflower on the baking sheet. Cook for 25-30 minutes or until the cauliflower pieces are crispy and golden brown, flipping them after about 15 minutes.
  • Remove the cauliflower from the oven.
  • To make the tacos, place a few pieces of cauliflower in a tortilla with a little shredded cabbage or lettuce and a few slices of avocado. Top with a drizzle of Chipotle Lime Dressing or hot sauce, if using.
