In celebration of Cinco de Mayo here is a simple and delicious recipe for soft tacos with roasted cauliflower, leeks and peppers with a few Mexican spices.
Easy tacos with phenomenal flavor
These are easy tacos to make with the added goodness of veggies and packed with flavor. First roast the cauliflower. While it’s roasting saute the leeks and peppers in a little olive oil. Toss in the roasted cauliflower along with spices. The veggies are ready. Then all you do is make a creamy sauce to spread on the tacos. I used Greek yogurt, but you can also use sour cream. This spread is just chives, salt and pepper – and it’s super delicious! Then the fun part of assembling the tacos. Enjoy!
Happy Cinco De Mayo!
