For the Filling
- 4 hard shell tacos
- 4 soft corn tortillas (we use 5.5-inch super-size tacos)
- 1/2 medium head cauliflower, about 1 pound
- 1 (15 ounce) can refried beans
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil For Topping
- 1 cup tomatoes, diced
- sour cream, to taste (dairy or non-dairy, Note 1)
- cilantro, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Chop the cauliflower into large florets.
- Step 2: Place the cauliflower on a baking sheet and toss with the 1 tablespoon(s) olive oil. Season with salt and roast for 20 minutes.
- Step 3: Toss the cauliflower with the taco seasoning and roast for 5 more minutes, or until golden and soft. Remove from the oven and chop the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces if needed.
- Step 4: Heat the refried beans over the stove until they are warm and spreadable.
- Step 5: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the soft tortillas on a baking sheet and smear the warm refried beans over the top. Sprinkle evenly with the cheese. Place the hard taco shells upside down on another baking sheet (or fit them on the same pan if you have room). Bake for 6 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
- Serve: Assembly time! Fill the hard tacos with the warm cauliflower. Place the hard shells in the center of each soft tortilla, gently sandwiching the cheesy taco around it. Load up the rest of the taco with tomatoes, sour cream, and cilantro. Enjoy immediately.
