Tacos that will make you feel you're in LA!

LA is arguably one of the top locations to have tacos! According to some, it has better tacos than those made in Mexico.
Visiting both LA and Mexico, I would have to say that both have amazing tacos, but in terms of flavor, I felt that Mexico won.
With that being said, I was inspired and decided to create my own tacos since I live on the East Coast!
One of the main components of the taco flavor is the corn tortilla itself. Trying numerous brands, my absolute favorite is Vista Hermosa purchased at Whole Foods.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Taco Mix:
1 tsp of cumin
1 tsp of red pepper flakes
1 tsp of onion powder
1 tsp of turmeric
1 tsp of chili powder
1 tbsp of oil
1 tbsp of water
1 tbsp of fresh squeezed lime
Whisk in a bowl together to form a paste, you can add more water if it is too thick or add more seasoning to make it thicker.
Taco Ingredients:
1/2 cauliflower head washed and chopped into small pieces
1 can of low-sodium chickpeas washed and drained
1 avocado sliced
1/4 bunch of cilantro minced
1 avocado sliced
Corn tortillas
Directions:
1. Add the paste to cauliflower and chickpeas, ensuring vegetables are covered in thoroughly.
2. Place in oven at 420C for about 20 minutes, depending on how quick your oven is.
3. A few minutes before the cauliflower and chickpeas are done, add corn tortillas to the oven, flipping them in 1-minute intervals.
Serve with Cilantro, avocado, and lime!
