Magic Cauliflower & Mushroom Tacos

Magic Cauliflower & Mushroom Tacos

Tacos are a great way to combine many delicious flavors and textures into every bite. This easy to prepare vegan filling is hearty, highly nutritious and satisfying and contrasts well with the tanginess and freshness of guacamole and salsa. Meat lovers will also appreciate this as a replacement.

If you don't feel like chopping the ingredients you can save time by cutting them into large chunks and pulsing the chunks in the food processor.

The cauliflower mushroom filling keeps well, refrigerated, for up to a week, so all you have to do on a busy day is heat some of it up in the microwave or in a pan, toss a scoop into a tortilla, top it with some fresh veggies and salsa, or anything else you can find in your panty, and there, your light meal is ready.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 head cauliflower, finely chopped
