1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small head cauliflower, fine chopped 

1 tablespoon chili powder  

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt 

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano  

1/2 cup salsa  

Chorizo:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound Mexican chorizo, casings removed  

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

Warm flour tortillas, for serving

Fresh cilantro leaves, for serving

Directions

  1. For the cauliflower: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet 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 chorizo: Heat the olive oil in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and use a wooden spoon to crumble into bite-size pieces. Cook, stirring frequently to break apart, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the chili powder, garlic salt and oregano. Cook another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the salsa and 2 tablespoons water. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the liquid has thickened slightly, about 3 minutes. 
  3. For the black beans: Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook 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.  
  4. For the tacos: Build the tacos with the tortillas, black beans, your choice of cauliflower or chorizo and desired toppings.
