Jerk Cauliflower Tacos with Mango Hot Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1 small head cauliflower, cut into small bite-sized pieces ((1 head cauliflower yields ~5 cups or 450 g))
  • 3 Tbsp DIY Jamaican Jerk Seasoning ((or similar store-bought spice rub))
  • 1 ½ Tbsp olive or avocado oil
  • 1 Tbsp coconut aminos ((or sub 2 tsp tamari + 1 tsp maple syrup))
  • 1 batch Zesty Mango Habanero Hot Sauce ((or another sweet, fruity hot sauce*))
  • 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained
  • 9 (~6-inch each) tortillas of choice
  • 1 large avocado, sliced ((or guacamole))
  • Fresh mango, diced
  • Red onion, finely diced
  • Freshly chopped cilantro
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. If serving with homemade hot sauce (highly recommended!), begin preparing it at this time using this recipe.
  2. Preheat oven to 425 F (218 C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. To the baking sheet, add the chopped cauliflower, jerk seasoning, oil, and coconut aminos. Toss until evenly coated. Roast for 20-25 minutes until the cauliflower is crispy on the edges and tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Meanwhile, add the drained black beans to a small saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat until warm, about 5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue cooking (uncovered) to evaporate most of the liquid (so your tortillas don't become soggy and break apart). Remove from the heat and set aside.
  5. Slice your avocado and prepare any additional optional toppings — we recommend mango, red onion, cilantro, and lime. Blend the homemade hot sauce if you haven’t already.
  6. To serve, warm tortillas briefly in a hot cast iron skillet, in the microwave, or in the oven directly on the still-warm oven racks until pliable. Add roasted cauliflower, warmed beans, sliced avocado, and any other desired toppings, then top with hot sauce and enjoy!
  7. Best when fresh. Store leftover hot sauce in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and roasted cauliflower and beans in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat cauliflower in a 350-degree F (176 C) oven and beans in a saucepan or in the microwave until warm. Not freezer friendly.
