Easy Teriyaki Cauliflower Tacos Recipe

These tacos feature roasted cauliflower tossed in teriyaki sauce, served in warm tortillas with rice and fresh vegetables. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
8 small tortillas (corn or flour)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cabbage or lettuce
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped green onions
Sliced avocado for topping (optional)
Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare the Cauliflower: In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast the Cauliflower: Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and tender. Toss halfway through for even cooking.
Add Teriyaki Sauce: Remove the cauliflower from the oven and drizzle with teriyaki sauce. Toss to coat evenly.
Warm the Tortillas: While the cauliflower is roasting, warm the tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: In each tortilla, add a scoop of cooked rice, followed by the teriyaki cauliflower, and top with shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, green onions, and avocado if using.
Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds if desired and serve immediately.
