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
- If serving with homemade hot sauce (highly recommended!), begin preparing it at this time using this recipe.
- Preheat oven to 425 F (218 C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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.
