Cauliflower Tacos

Josh has told me that these need to be on a restaurant menu somewhere. I will gladly accept that compliment. Have you ever read the meme about “if Cauliflower can be pizza, you can believe in yourself too”? Cauliflower has the best freaking ability to take on amazing flavor. I don’t make these nearly enough but every time I do, I am so satisfied. I apologize for the crappy photos taken on my phone. I forgot to document this dish the last time I was making it and snapped these before shoving the taco in my mouth.
