Roasted Cauliflower Tacos with black beans and sweet corn 烤花菜黑豆玉米饼

Serves 4, comfortably

 

1 head of cauliflower (keep cauliflower leaves to the side for x recipe)

 

200g black beans

 

200g sweet corn

 

Pickled red onions

 

Pinch of salt, black pepper and smoked paprika

 

4 tortillas

 

Pre-heat oven to 220c

 

Add the cauliflower florets to a bowl, add 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, black pepper and smoked paprika, toss and stir until florets are covered and coated evenly then add the florets to a baking tray or baking dish. Roast in the oven for 20-30 minutes or until the cauliflower is cooked through and the florets begin to begin to brown around the edges. Toss or shake the baking tray or baking dish every 10 minutes to cook evenly.

 

After the cauliflower has roasted, remove from heat and leave to the side and prepare your toppings. You can cook and heat the canned black beans and sweet corn if you’d like and warm the tortillas on the stove or in the oven.

 

To plate, add the black beans to the base of the tortilla, next the roasted cauliflower and sweet corn. Add the pickled red onions and spring onions for garnish. If you have cashew cheese sauce add some now or for additional heat, drizzle a bit of hot sauce.

 

Keep leftovers in a sealed container up to 5 days, just reheat and serve.
