To Make the Spicy Cilantro Sauce:

  • 2 jalapeño peppers, rough chopped
  • 2 bundles of fresh cilantro, washed and dried
  • Juice of 1 medium lime
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt to taste

To Make the Cauliflower-Chickpea Filling:

  • 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets

To Assemble the Taco:

  • Shredded red cabbage and greens or topping of your choice
  • Lime wedges (optional)

  2. Place cauliflower and chickpeas in a large bowl, add 2 tablespoons of spicy cilantro sauce and toss to coat. Transfer to a shallow baking pan and spread evenly.
