Why You'll Love Pistachio'd Cauliflower Tacos
They're bold, crunchy, creamy, and balanced in all the right ways. Plant-based never tasted so fun.
Tips and Tricks
- Soak jalapeño slices in ice water to keep them crisp and mellow the heat.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet or cauliflower will steam instead of roast.
Variations
- Add avocado slices for extra creaminess.
- Top with a fried egg to turn these into brunch tacos.
Substitutions
- Use Greek yogurt instead of crème fraîche.
- No time to make pesto? Try store-bought pistachio butter blended with herbs and lime juice.
Best served with
- A crisp lager or citrusy IPA
- Cucumber-mint agua fresca
- Side of elote or a simple green salad
How to Store Leftovers
- Store cauliflower and crema separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
- Reheat cauliflower in a hot skillet to revive the texture.
Common Questions
Can I make this vegan?
Yes-use a plant-based yogurt for the crema and skip the cheese or sub with a vegan feta.
Are these tacos spicy?
The pistachios bring mild heat, but you can dial it up or down with how much jalapeño you use.
