Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan). Toss the cauliflower florets with your ready made carne asada marinade (see the base recipe) and the olive oil.
- 2
Spread on a large baking tray in a single layer and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once, until charred at the edges and tender.
27 min 30 s - 3
Warm the corn tortillas (see the base recipe) in a dry pan for 30 seconds each side.
- 4
Spread each tortilla with creamy avocado salsa (see the base recipe), then fill with cauliflower and red cabbage.
- 5
Finish with coriander and serve with lime wedges.
Tips
- Cut the florets small and even so they char before they go soggy.
- Do not crowd the tray. Use two trays if needed so the cauliflower roasts, not steams.
- A spoonful of salsa macha on top adds a smoky crunch.
Storing and freezing
Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days if cooled within 1 to 2 hours. Reheat in a hot oven until steaming hot all the way through.
Questions
Is this vegan?
Yes. The marinade, cauliflower, tortillas, avocado salsa and cabbage are all plant based and free from gluten, dairy, egg and nuts.
Can I grill the cauliflower instead?
Yes. Cut into thick steaks, brush with marinade and grill over medium high heat for 8 minutes a side until tender and charred.
