Hi there, Ameera here!

Who doesn’t love being able to devour a ton of super tasty, yet healthy tacos?  We all do, right?  The beauty of this way of eating is that you can really feast on healthy foods that are also delicious.

Taco Lover

They don’t call it “Taco Tuesday” for nothing, right?  We have a whole day of the week devoted to tacos because people just can’t get enough of them.

If it was up to me there would be a Taco Monday, Taco Wednesday, Taco Thursday, Taco Friday, Taco Saturday, and Taco Sunday in addition to the regular Taco Tuesday. Hee Hee!

And these delicious Cauliflower Fiesta Tacos are perfect to add to your taco collection.

Sensational Salsa

Using your favorite salsa is key with this recipe as it supplies flavor and some heat if that’s up your ally.

We love D.L. Jardine’s Texasalsa. It is Whole Food Plant Based compliant and is very flavorful.  It does pack a little heat so if you are concerned perhaps scale back on the cayenne pepper or select a tasty salsa that is mild.

Just keep in mind that every salsa is different. Some have more cumin, other more coriander, or chili powder and you may wish to adjust the additional seasoning accordingly.

This recipe will work great with any flavorful salsa, we just want you to know that the salsa does play a role in the flavor so pick a great tasting salsa that you love.

I’ll let Mom tell you more!

Hi!  Robin here!

I LOVE these tacos!  But then again, if you have been reading our blog for any length of time, then you already know that.

I also love D.L. Jardine’s Texasalsa.  It has amazing flavor.  I really enjoyed topping these puppies with fresh cilantro, finely diced red onions, and chopped avocado.  These fresh tasting tacos rival any restaurant taco in my humble opinion.

We hope you give this recipe a try, you won’t be sorry! If you try this lively taco, we would love to know if you enjoy it as much as we do! Please leave us a review! Post a picture on Facebook or Instagram and tag us!  We would love to hear from you.

Notes

*Salsa:  Use your favorite salsa. We used D.L. Jardine’s Texasalsa.  This is a medium salsa with some heat to it.  If you use this salsa, then adjust the cayenne pepper to your taste. We like a lot of spice.  Additionally, there are tons of salsas available that you can use in this recipe.  The thing you want to keep in mind is that seasonings vary greatly, adjust spices accordingly.  Additionally, we found 3 tablespoons of salsa worked perfectly; however, some may wish more.

*Tamari: We used San J Tamari Soy Sauce, Gluten Free, Reduced Sodium.  You can substitute the tamari with reduced sodium soy sauce, Braggs Liquid Aminos, or Braggs Coconut Liquid Aminos.

*Vegetable Stock:   We use Pacific Organic Low Sodium Vegetable Stock. We love this brand because it is Whole Food Plant Based compliant, as it does not contain MSG, has no oil, and does not contain any highly-processed ingredients.

*Sea Salt:  Please adjust the sea salt based upon your family’s sea salt preferences and/or based upon dietary needs.

*Serving:  Makes 12 tacos

*Storage:  Refrigerate and use within 5 days.
