Ingredients

Cauliflower:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small head cauliflower, finely chopped

1 tablespoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 cup salsa

Black Beans:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 medium yellow onion, diced

One 15-ounce can black beans (do not drain)

1 to 2 teaspoons sriracha hot sauce

Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Tacos:

Warm flour tortillas, for serving

Guacamole, fresh cilantro, thinly sliced scallions, shredded cabbage or bagged coleslaw mix and sour cream, for topping

Directions

  1. For the cauliflower: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower and cook until it begins to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chili powder, garlic salt and oregano. Cook another 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the salsa and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the liquid has been mostly absorbed by the cauliflower, about 5 minutes.
  2. For the black beans: In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until tender and translucent, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the black beans with their liquid and the sriracha. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Simmer on low for about 10 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to gently mash the beans, leaving some texture.
  3. For the tacos: Build the tacos with the tortillas, black beans, cauliflower and desired toppings.

Very tasty! used corn tortillas, lightly charred on my gas range top - I suggest not using the juice from the cauliflower after it cooks or else the taco will "sog out", at least with corn tortillas which I prefer for the flavor. I topped mine with shredded cheddar and sour cream, yummy. I used fresh, diced jalapeno for the heat instead of the sriracha and I liked that; I'm sure either will work. Next time I'll make sure to have some avocado on hand for a topping. As you can see, this is a very versatile recipe.
