Cauliflower Black Bean Tacos

Ingredients

• 6 corn tortillas


• 4 cups (400g) cauliflower


• 1 tsp olive oil


• 2 cloves garlic, chopped


• 1 tsp chipotle powder


• 1/4 tsp salt


• 1 (15 oz.) can no-salt black beans, rinsed and drained


• 1/4 cup (40g) green onions, chopped


• 2 large tomatoes, chopped


• 1/4 cup (15g) cilantro, coarsely chopped

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC), and wrap the tortillas in foil. Heat the tortillas for 10 min.

Place the cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until chopped to the size of ground beef.

Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and place over medium-high heat; add the cauliflower. Cook, stirring frequently for about 5 min., until the cauliflower is tender and the pan is dry. Add the garlic, chipotle powder, salt and black beans and cook until hot.

Serve 1/2 cup of the cauliflower filling in each corn tortilla, top with green onions, tomatoes and cilantro.
