Roasted Beer and Lime Cauliflower Tacos with Cilantro Coleslaw 1/18/15

Roasted Beer and Lime Cauliflower Tacos with Cilantro Coleslaw
Makes about 6 tacos
*Pair this with the Fire Roasted Salsa like I did and it'll knock your socks off. Hella good.

I added ground turkey to this to beef it up a little bit but man are these good. Who knew cauliflower could taste delicious in tacos. Not me. So grab a beer and get to work. Just don't get too crazy until you're done cooking.  My friend Avery was in town and she came over to help and of course eat. Enjoy.

Ingredients:
1 Head cauliflower
3/4 cup Beer (any type you want, just don't use something heavy like a stout. I used New Belgium Snapshot Wheat Beer)
1/4 cup Vegetable Broth
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons chipotle hot sauce
1 to 2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
pinch of salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
6 corn tortillas
1 avocado, sliced

ONE: Head yo oven to 400F.

TWO: Chop the cauliflower into small florets no bigger than a quarter. In a saucepan, warm the beer, broth, lime juice, soy sauce, hot sauce, and garlic over medium heat. Add the cauliflower and simmer for about 1.5 minutes. Drain.

THREE: Toss the spices, salt and olive oil together in a large bowl. Add the cauliflower and onion and stir that ish until everything is coated. Dump it on the baking sheet and bake until browned, stirring halfway, about 20 minutes.

FOUR: To make the tacos, warm the tortillas and then add as much of whatever you want my dudes.

Cilantro Coleslaw
1/2 head of green cabbage (I used red because I had some left over, but use whatever you want)
1 small carrot
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup chopped cilantro

ONE AND DONE: Cut the cabbage into the thinnest strips you can and make sure those pieces are no longer than 2 inches long. This is a great time to get good with your knife skills if you're looking for a silver lining in all that chopping. Chop the carrot into thin matchsticks of the same length. In a small glass, mix together the lime juice, vinegar, oil, and salt. Add the dressing right before you are going to eat and toss that shit well. Add the cilantro and serve.



Two tacos of goodness.
