Whether you’re a lifelong vegetarian or vegan, or trying out a plan-based diet for the first time, Tex-Mex food should be a regular part of your weekly menu. That’s because it’s easy to swap protein-packed beans for the meat in dishes like burritos, fajitas and tacos.
However, hitting the beans hard every time can start to get old, so if you’re looking for a new spin then consider roasted cauliflower. This cauliflower taco recipe is delicious and easy to make, and either serves four, three, two or one, depending on how many of the 12 tacos you want to keep to yourself.
The recipe is from Saskia Gregson-Williams, a former ballet dancer who now runs an online workout studio and vegetarian recipe resource called Naturally Sassy.
