These Roasted Cauliflower Tacos with a homemade sweet and spicy Chipotle Romesco Sauce are extremely delicious and indulging. It's got the perfect crispiness of the veggies because the Cauliflowers are oven-roasted. Also, the Sauce makes this taste so damn good. 🙂

Roasting the Cauliflower for the Tacos

I prefer to oven roast my Cauliflower for the tacos. It's pretty easy. All you need to do is toss them with some spices and seasonings. And place it in the baking dish. Drizzle some Canola oil over them and bake for 20-25 minutes. They will get crispy and the spices will stick to them making them absolutely perfect for use in Tacos. You can of course use these in Burritos or Quesadillas as well.

Making the Chipotle Romesco Sauce

So for the smokey flavors in the Chipotle Romesco Sauce, I roast the garlic (skin on) and the Almonds in the oven. After that, I put them in the blender along with Oil, Honey, Smoked Paprika, Ground Cumin, Diced Tomatoes, Lime Juice, Chipotle Hot Sauce, and Salt. Blend all of this at high speed until you have a smooth sauce ready.

Ideally, Romesco Sauce is to made with Nyora Peppers. These are basically sun-dried small Red Bell Peppers. Since these are very difficult to find here, I use the next best alternative which is some spicy Chipotle hot sauce. You can also use chopped Chipotle Peppers.
