Origin of Tacos

Well, you might have already guessed it - it is Mexico. We love Mexican recipes for their smoky taste and spicy chilies. And, of course fresh cilantro. But, tacos are the heart of Mexican cuisines.

But, who invented the taco?

As with most popular recipes it is very hard to pinpoint and tell who invented tacos. It is believed that before the Spanish people invaded Mexico, the Ancient Mexicans used fresh homemade corn or flour tortillas and filled it with fish or meat.

Another theory states that Tacos were brought to the US in 19th century by Mexican immigrants. And, we all know how much we love taco today!

This veggie taco is perfect for snack (especially when you are busy in work) and also works as an excellent dinner recipe.

Easy Cauliflower Tacos - Veggie Heavy Tacos

Last week we went to Florida on a road trip for the weekend. Heading south I was excited to try some southern comfort food. But, to my surprise, cauliflower tacos has become the new trend today!

People LOVE Cauli Tacos. Probably the flexitarian diet thing where people love plant based foods.

Here are some of my favorites:

Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos or Buffalo Cauliflower Burrito

Turmeric Roasted Cauliflower and Black Bean Tacos

Crispy Cauliflower Tinga Tacos

Cauliflower is the next best thing after chicken that you can use in a taco. We love chicken. But, when it comes to eating plant based foods you gotta choose cauliflower.

It has that similar meat-y taste and is equally delicious.

Easy Sauce for Cauliflower Tacos

It's not necessary that you have to serve these crispy cauliflower florets with Yum Yum Sauce. You can choose any sauce that you like.

Here are my recommendations:

  • Homemade Hot Sauce
  • Pineapple Chili Sauce
  • Peri Peri Sauce
  • Nacho Cheese Sauce
  • Cilantro Lime Dressing
  • Vinaigrette Dressing
  • Garlic Vinegar Dressing
  • Homemade Ranch Dressing

Appetizing Variations

  • Avocado Cream - Freshly chopped avocados or Homemade Avocado cream works magically well with these tacos.
  • Red Cabbage - Make your favorite Coleslaw with freshly shredded red cabbage and it'll blow your mind.
  • Pickled red onions - I had made Pickled red onions for my Easy Vegetarian Skillet Chili recipe. Since them I am in love with them. That bright purple color looks delish.
  • Pickled Jalapeños - Want to crank up the heat, try adding some Pickled Jalapeños in the mix.
  • Ground Cumin - Mexican recipes uses a lot of ground cumin. So, feel free to add some ground cumin while making the coating mixture for cauliflower.

Serving Suggestions for Cauli Tacos

  • Busy Weeknight - Especially on a busy weeknight you can enjoy these tacos on their own.
  • Lazy Sunday - When you got time to relax you can make roasted tomato salsa or pineapple salsa or green tomatillo salsa and serve your tacos with some nachos and this salsa.
  • Party Night - If you are having a taco night then serve this with Homemade Refried Beans or Mexican Corn Salad or Cilantro Lime Quinoa
