Roasted Cauliflower Tacos with Chipotle Romesco

These tacos are the best vegan tacos I’ve ever made! The romesco was like a molé with the almonds, so good!

This most be top 3 most tasty vegan meals I made. Tasty and fresh ingredients, and just SO satisfying.

You must make the sauce; it is the main reason this dish is so tasty and special.

I added fresh tomatoes, as I did not want to go to the store :), and it came out really tasty.

Amazing!
P.S. I now MUST make other vegan dishes from this website.

These were delicious, and that chipotle romesco sauce is a truly great addition to the tacos. Can’t wait to make them again.

I made this tonight as a side dish, spreading the sauce on the plate and serving the cauliflower on top. It was a hit, not a bite left. Thank you for such a great and flavorful recipe!

Crap! I missed the part about draining the tomatoes. Is there anything I can do to make it less runny and more like sauce? Thank you! I’ve made this before and it was amazing, hence the 5 stars! Even though it deserves more, unless you mess up like I just did!

I agree with the other commenters about the flavor of the sauce. Amazing. I messed up and was in a rush, and accidentally didn’t drain the tomatoes, so I didn’t actually make a romesco sauce (totally wrong consistency). However, the outcome was more of a salsa, and it was the most delicious salsa I have ever made in my life. And I live in Texas, y’all, and have made a lot of salsas. My family was scooping this up like crazy to top their tacos, including for the chicken tacos I made in parallel.

The romesco sauce is SO ridiculously delicious. I just want to drink it! Easily my favorite sauce ever (close tie to cilantro chutney).

I pulled out the cauliflower only to see it went bad, so I used cubed tofu instead with have the seasoning and threw it in the air fryer, and added some black beans to bulk it up since 1 block of tofu wasn’t much. I imagine they’ll be just as delicious with cauliflower which I’ll try next week. I added the optional avocado and purple cabbage. I ate this with taco shells and also in a bowl as leftovers.

Thank you for another amazing recipe!

So Yummy!!! My family really enjoyed these tacos & we will be working them into dinner rotation. Followed the recipe except I added some nutritional yeast to the sauce. Pickled red onion on top was a nice touch. Can’t wait to have leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

I used a can of diced tomatoes because I didn’t have fire roasted. Other than that I followed the recipe. I’m still sitting at the table finishing my last taco but had to get on and leave a comment while my tastebuds celebrated. This is SO full of flavor. Great easy recipe. Hard to believe something this tasty was this easy! Thank you for a keeper!!!

This recipe is amazing. The Romesco sauce is 11/10!

made some tweaks to the sauce – making notes here for myself:
– used cashews
– used roasted red peppers
– used regular tomatoes
– only used roasted garlic and no raw garlic

I just made this for the 3rd time! Ugh….it’s just TOO good. It feels so amazing to eat food that not only tastes divine, but is also incredibly nourishing. The star of the show here is the Romesco sauce! It’s spicy and oh so flavorful. I ate mine on cassava tortillas with avocado, pepitas and cilantro because that’s what I had on hand. I am so grateful for these recipes!

These are absolutely delicious and so flavorful. I forgot a lime and substituted a lemon and it turned out great. Thank you!

I made this several times and it’s a great recipe, but the sauce is what makes it special. Recently, we realized that one member of the family is allergic to almonds so I made it with cashews and it was equally successful. Unfortunately, he seems to also react to cashews now so I’ve started making it with sunflower seeds and honestly, it works. There might be a slightly bitter edge from the sunflower seeds but you have to be looking for it.

Winner …Winner… Chicken Dinner!!!
These tacos are phenomenal, the flavors are simple yet complex and the recipe is just downright simple. Congratulations to you guys and thank you so much for sharing!

I am not the best home cook but I made this for my husband for dinner tonight and it was a hit! I followed the recipe exactly and WOW!!! We will keep this in the dinner rotation. If I was served this at a restaurant how I was able to make it I would be pleased. I wish I had made more but I only had 1 cauliflower head. 10/10 will make again and again.

This is delicious, especially with homemade corn tortillas and black beans on the side! The texture reminded me of fish tacos. The whole family loved it- I’ll be making it again for sure.

Made this last night, it is unbelievably easy. This recipe is being added to the weeknight meal rotation. If pinched for time or feeling unmotivated, I’d probably skip the garlic and almond roasting and just toss it all in the NutriBullet. Served it with sliced avocado. Filling, healthy and yummy. Thanks as always MB :)

This was excellent! Some differences/substitutions. I used roasted red bell pepper in place of tomatoes in the sauce. I also subbed sherry vinegar for lime and did not roast the nuts or garlic. I only used 3 raw cloves. I tossed the red cabbage with some lime. The cauliflower was excellent and the sauce amazing! This will go into the rotation!

I don’t usually comment on recipes but I made an exception for this one. It was so delicious and easy to make. I’ll definitely add it to my rotation of tacos.

This was my favorite recipe before having a child. My young toddler went through a vegetables are gross phase, which was really hard as a vegetarian family. Thankfully, this one one of the recipes that brought them around to cauliflower!! Pretty sure it’s one of those recipes that I have memorized now. ❤️

Wow these are so good! I made them exactly as written and I wouldn’t change a thing. My husband even loved them and was disappointed we didn’t have leftovers! Definitely will be making this again.

Holy Moly, these are delicious. That romesco sauce is amazing. I used an immersion blender for the sauce and it worked great, made a thicker sauce.

I made this with cashews instead of almonds and my husband thought the sauce was fantastic! I served it with cilantro and a little lime on top. It was simple and tasty. I definitely think the cilantro sprinkled liberally added a little something. Another tasty recipe!! Thank you for being so consistent!

I’ve made these several times, and each time they are fantastic. My husband is an avid meat eater, and this is one of the only vegan meals he gets excited about. The chipotle romesco sauce is also really great to use for breakfast burritos later on!! :)

Sooo tasty! My oven isn’t working so I roasted the cauliflower on the stovetop in the cast iron. I didn’t make the sauce either, since I don’t have a blender. Warmed up the tortillas and had all the fixings for delicious tacos, that just so happen to be vegan. Second time making it already! Super easy, will keep this recipe in my rotation!

One of my favourite recipes from MB for taste, speed, and simplicity. Made this tonight, used olive oil instead of coconut/avocado oil for the cauliflower, walnuts instead of the almonds (didn’t roast these obviously) and omitted the fire roasted tomato, only using a slightly higher quantity of roasted red peppers (in brine, not in adobo). Also added kimchi as a topping, along with the avocado, lime, cilantro and red cabbage. Delicious!

Loved this recipe, needed to use up a bit of cauli! Didn’t have fire roasted tomatoes so just added a roasted pepper to the sauce.with a tin if chopped tomatoes. Shredded some cabbage and carrot, with a little grated cheese, avo and fresh mint to serve, as I had no coriander. Definitely on the make again list.

So delicious. We couldn’t get canned fire roasted tomatoes (not sure if that’s a thing in Aus) but used plain tinned tomatoes and added char grilled capsicums (peppers) to the sauce and it was great. My partner added grilled prawns to his. Thanks for the great recipe!

The romesco sauce was delicious! I’ll probably use a bit less chipotles next time (1.5 instead of 2, maybe?) And I’ll definitely be making these tacos again. Thanks!

This is an awesome recipe! I will definitely be making it again!

Incredible, the sauce is to die for!

I made this for dinner last night and it turned out so good! The sauce was amazing. I’ll definitely be making this again.

Made these last nite, served w a mango Mezcal cocktail. Outstanding! Scrumptious! Perfect heat! and I have leftover sauce! An easy meal to go along w NBA plaoff games.
Thank you ~

I am sorry. I do love cauliflower, but I wasn’t crazy about this recipe. My 2 teens and husband was not wild about it either. We didn’t like the spice blend for the roasted cauliflower and the sauce was not for us.

This is literally one of the best things I have ever eaten and made. I never leave reviews but thats how good this was. Seriously eat this you will not regret it is freaking delicious!

I made these earlier and they were delicious! They were super easy to throw together. Thank you for the great recipe!

This was really good. The rest of the family was less enthused at the idea of it and, yet, they were pleasantly surprised how much they liked it. It sounds odd, but it actually tastes a little bit like shrimp! I’m putting in our rotation.

This has become a family favorite! Simple, fast and delicious! Thank you!

This is a new fav to be a permanent meal each month! The sauce too was a hit for a chicken batch we made for the non-cauliflower lovers in the house.

I think this is legitimately the best recipe I’ve ever come across, and this is the first recipe review I’ve ever done. I’ve been making it consistently for a couple years. I make a whole bunch of the romesco sauce ahead of time and freeze it alongside some corn tortillas so I can make this whenever I want. I have to make it when I’m eating alone because eating it – topped with cilantro and diced raw onion with liberal amounts of Tabasco and lime juice – I’m an absolute mess, blissfully stuffing it into my face. I cannot thank the creator of this recipe enough and 100% recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Delicious recipe! Everyone enjoyed – made it exactly as written. The chipotle romesco sauce is superb. This tastes better than a similar version at our local favorite taco restaurant. We will definitely be making this again.

Made exactly as stated. A flavor bomb! My husband and I both thought they were so delicious–I’ll be adding this one to my arsenal!! Easy and so super healthy. I love the sauce! Can put on nearly anything!! Thank you!

I never review recipes, but this one is so good I had to comment. I would give this recipe 10 stars. It is super easy, flavorful, healthy, and delicious! I recommend using the “cheese trick” from chef Saul Montiel (Epicurious Pro Chef vs Home Cook).
The sauce is versatile and great on anything.
Make these tacos, you won’t be disappointed!

Actually, I didn’t make this. But my sister did. My daughter and I went to her house for a girls weekend. After a long drive, we had these for supper. YUM! She doubled the recipe for the 3 of us, and we gorged ourselves. Ate it all. Fantastic. Stupendous. Delicious. I’ve never enjoyed meat free tacos so much. Today, I printed this recipe. Tomorrow I’m off to Wegman’s to get all the ingredients I don’t already have in my house. This weekend, it’s TACO time!!

This was a very good recipe, it turned out great and prep wasn’t hard at all. I used cashew instead of almond in the sauce, because I need to use what I had on hand before buying new, and I had to use diced roasted tomatoes since that’s all they had at the store. The sauce was BONKERS DELICIOUS! I had a leftover too, so I can use it on other stuff too. The cauliflower was great too, a nice mix of a soft and crunchy bite if that makes sense. I used homemade flour tortillas, since I’m not gluten-free, and I highly recommend since they are way better quality than store brand, and don’t take more than 20 minutes extra time if you are making them along with the recipe. Next time, I think I will add black beans or chickpeas to this, since the cauliflower alone feels a bit light.

Girl!!! You knocked it out of the park with this one. My husband immensely enjoyed it. My 6 year old son wanted to drink the romesco sauce. He only stopped because I told him he could use it for lunch the next day. Flavors are amazing. Cauliflower by itself was sooo delicious! We paired it with your Black bean salad with orange lime dressing. Soooooooo darn good!

These were fantastic!!! Definitely adding to our dinner rotation as well. The only think I altered was using pecans instead of almonds since that was what I had. We topped ours with red cabbage, avocado chunks and a little Greek yogurt for more creaminess. Delish! Thank you for another winner!

Preparing for a Tex-Mex themed family reunion dinner and tested this recipe as a possible menu addition – a definite winner and I’m anticipating lots of praise from my family when they taste these oh-so-delicious tacos! Side note: when my hubby tasted them at lunch today he asked that I add these to our regular rotation :). Thanks for another fantastic recipe!!
