Cauliflower Tacos
The only vegetable in the fridge was a head of cauliflower and I really wanted Mexican food. So I did a recipe search for cauliflower tacos, came up with a few selections and created a recipe of my own. These were very delicious and quick and easy to make.
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small head cauliflower, finely chopped
1 cup chopped mushrooms
2 T chili powder
2 t cumin
1 t smoked paprika
1/2 t garlic powder
1/2 t onion powder
Juice from 1 lime
Salt to taste
Boil 1 cup water. Add lentils, cover, and cook until tender. Add more water if needed.
Saute onion in a dry medium sauce pan over medium high heat until they start to brown. Add garlic and cauliflower and a tablespoon or two of water and continue to saute for 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and spices and cook until cauliflower is tender. Drain off excess water from lentils then add cooked lentils to cauliflower. Mix well. Soften corn tortillas by steaming them in a double boiler for 15 – 20 seconds. Fill with cauliflower taco meat, top with shredded cabbage, tomato, guacamole, and salsa.
