[Election Taco Tuesday ] roasted cauliflower, black bean & caramelized onions & peppers w Sriracha crema.

Kit and I wanted something simple and also somewhat healthy for our dinner while we watched the big results show. 
These veggie tacos are delicious and super satisfying. 

[Preheat] your oven to 375F. Toss bite size pieces of cauliflower in olive oil, salt & pepper. Put on a baking sheet covered with foil and bake for 15 mins. 

[Saute] a glove of chopped garlic and one sliced onion until soft. Add a cup of sliced brown mushrooms and saute on high heat. Season with salt and pepper. Add 3/4 cup sliced red peppers and saute until caramelized. Stir through a handful of chopped cilantro. I added a swoosh of beer to the pan for that extra flavor! 

[Drain] a can of organic black beans and add to the oven with cauliflower. Drizzle some olive oil over the beans/cauliflower. Sprinkle with a little smoked paprika. 
Roast for another 10 mins until the beans are starting to pop and the cauliflower is charred.

[Mix] sour cream with lime juice and Sriracha for color and taste. (I add a lot) 

[Warm] corn tortillas in a pan and then top with veggies, diced tomato, scallions and chopped cilantro. 

ENJOY!

HomeCookin: roasted cauliflower + corn tacos - inspired by @eringleeson & @cultivatewines.

I was reading the delicious post on Cultivate Wine’s blog and fell in love with the idea of using roasted cauliflower and corn in my rotation for taco night.

My version is a little adapted but turned out to be delicious none the less.


MIX| 
1 small head cauliflower roughly chopped, two ears of corn kernals, two cloves diced garlic, one onion thinly sliced, salt, pepper, olive oil, red pepper flakes + paprika.

ROAST| 
in a 400F oven until charred, caramelized and cooked through.

SERVE|
with warmed corn tortillas + chipotle sour cream + crispy lettuce & red cabbage w/ a simple lime juice/olive oil/salt & pepper dressing

SO GOOD!
