Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 1 can Chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 sliced Avocado

Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the cauliflower into small florets and drain and rinse the chickpeas.
In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower until it resembles rice. Add the chickpeas and pulse until the mixture is crumbly but not pureed.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the processed cauliflower and chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat evenly.
Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden and crispy.
Remove from oven and drizzle with lime juice. Toss to mix.
Heat corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and pliable.
Fill each tortilla with a generous spoonful of soy-free chorizo mixture.
Top with sliced avocado, cilantro, and red onion.
Serve immediately and enjoy your soy-free chorizo tacos!
