Cauliflower & Chickpea Tacos with Pickled Red Onions and Lime Crema
Plant-Based & Protein-Packed: These tacos are completely plant-based, making them a great option for vegetarians and vegans.
Roasted Flavor: Roasting the cauliflower and chickpeas brings out their natural sweetness and adds a delicious crispy texture, which enhances the overall taco experience.
Spice Blend: A smoky, slightly spicy seasoning—often a mix of cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and chili powder—gives the cauliflower and chickpeas a bold, taco-appropriate flavor.
Easy Pickled Red Onions: Quick-pickled red onions (with vinegar, sugar, and salt) offer a tangy crunch and a pop of color, balancing the richness of the roasted vegetables.
Zesty Lime Crema: The lime crema—made from sour cream or a vegan alternative blended with fresh lime juice and zest—adds creaminess and citrusy brightness to every bite.
Tortilla Options: These tacos work well with soft corn or flour tortillas. You can also opt for low-carb or gluten-free options depending on dietary needs.
Customizable Toppings: Add extras like avocado slices, shredded lettuce, or hot sauce to suit your taste preferences and enhance the flavor profile.
Quick & Easy: With basic prep and roasting time, this dish comes together in under 40 minutes, making it perfect for busy weeknights.
