Vegan crispy cauliflower tacos made with spiced battered cauliflower, and refreshing salsa.
Ingredients
1 cauliflower head (divided into florets)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1 flax egg (2 tbsp ground flax + 6 tbsp water)
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tomato (diced)
1 onion (diced)
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 jalapeno (minced)
½ lime (juiced)
8 tortillas (8 inch, charred)
¼ cup red cabbage (shredded into thin slices)
½ lime (juice) (or lemon juice)
Method
1
Mix all of the dry ingredients, then mix in a flax egg. To make a flax egg, mix 2 tbsp of ground flaxseed with 6 tbsp of water and let it stand for 5 minutes.
2
Start by washing the cauliflower and diving the florets into bite-size florets. Dip each floret in the batter, followed by the panko bread crumbs. Either bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy (make sure that you drizzle with battered cauliflower with a bit of olive oil for it to crisp). Or fry in vegetable oil until the cauliflower is golden and crispy. I recommend frying as you'll get perfectly crispy cauliflower, but baking is a healthier option.
3
Dice and chop all of the ingredients for the salsa, and mix them together in a small bowl.
4
Serve the cauliflower on charred tortillas, a bed of shredded red cabbage, tomato salsa and a squeeze of lime or lemon juice.
