If you’re looking for some healthy summertime recipes, I’m here to help! My Charred Cauliflower & Red Pepper Tacos are pretty low in calorie, and high in deliciousness 😉 I’m constantly seeing cauliflower taco recipes on the internet, so I wanted to make my own version… and they are pretty damn good if you ask me! I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I do!

Sheet Pan Cauliflower & Red Pepper

If you don’t want to turn your oven on for this recipe, you really don’t need to! I think it’s a lot easier to get veggies cooking separately if they are on a sheet, but you can always do this on the stove. To cook on the stove, you can follow the same steps, but add the bell pepper about 10 minutes after you add the cauliflower, since it’s softer in texture. You can even do this on the grill if you’re up for that!

Corn Tortillas vs. Flour Tortillas

I will forever love my flour tortillas more than corn tortillas, but when it comes down to eating “lighter” in the summer, I always go for corn because it’s a little healthier. If you want to use flour tortillas, this recipe will be just as good! If you want to eliminate the carbs completely, you can make the cauliflower and red pepper combo to add onto a bed of spinach or arugula!

Spicy Chimichurri Sauce

You may think it’s weird that chimichurri is considered a sauce, but it is, and it goes SO well with this flavor profile! I have the best recipe, and of course… it’s spicy 😉 My Spicy Chimichurri can be made in advance for this recipe, and once you’ve moved on, you can also use it for SO many other dishes. I love it for this recipe in particular because it goes really well with a mix of vegetables 🙂

Ingredients

• 2.5 cup cauliflower florets
• 1/4 cup avocado oil (or olive oil)
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp curry powder
• 1 tsp turmeric powder
• 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
• 6 corn tortillas
• 1/4 cup Spicy Chimichurri

Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to 400° F. In a large bowl, mix together the oil, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, curry powder, turmeric powder, and salt + black pepper.
• Once mixed, add in your cauliflower and mix WELL until all pieces are coated evenly.
• Add the cauliflower on to one half of a baking sheet, and add your sliced bell pepper on the other half.
• Drizzle some oil, salt & black pepper on the side with the bell peppers and give it a quick mix. Place into the oven.
• Let your cauliflower and peppers cook for about 15-20 minutes, and them a mix half way through. Your veggies will char a little bit, which is totally fine.
• To assemble the tacos, warm up your corn tortillas. Add some of the charred cauliflower and red pepper, a spoonful of Spicy Chimichurri, and some fresh squeezed lime. Garnish with parsley or cilantro if you have.
• Serve immediately!
