Vegan Cauliflower Tacos
These easy vegan cauliflower tacos are a great weeknight dinner! They taste like a classic beef taco, but are remade to be vegan, grain-free, and diary-free.
Ingredients
- 3-4 cups riced cauliflower
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup water
- 1 packet taco seasoning I prefer Siete taco seasoning as it is gluten and grain free.
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup shredded cheese Use your preferred cheese here, I use vegan cheese.
Instructions
- First, dice up the cauliflower. You can purchase already riced cauliflower at most grocery stores, but I find it can go bad quickly. I usually buy a head of cauliflower, chop off the florets from the core, then working in small batches, place the cauliflower in a blender to pulse until it is diced. I find it best to work in small batches to ensure the most consistent riced texture.
- In a skillet, heat up a tablespoon of olive oil, then add your riced cauliflower and cook for about 8-10 minutes until translucent and soft. Add ¼ cup of water to the cauliflower and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
- Next, add in your taco seasoning according to your package instructions and stir until well combined. Remove from the heat.
- Chop up your preferred toppings. Less is more here if you are going for that traditional, easy “beef” taco. I top mine with diced tomato and shredded romaine lettuce.
- Heat your taco shells as directed on your taco shells packaging.
- Once your shells are warm, add in the vegan cauliflower taco mixture, then add cheese, and top with your tomatoes and lettuce. That’s it!
