Cauliflower Tacos with salsa verde

September 30, 2021 by Rachel Carr Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Simple tacos make a quick and easy weeknight supper! Just make sure you have a delicious sauce to serve along side it! These ultra healthy cauliflower tacos are not just delicious, they’re completely oil-free and whole food plant based.

Serve them with the spicy Aji Verde sauce and a side of quinoa for a complete meal!

The sauce in this Caauliflower Taco recipe is actually one of my favorite all purpose sauces. I love it mixed into pasta, drizzled on grain bowls, served as a dip and tossed into salads. I haven’t found any dish it doesn’t improve!

For the Tacos
