Ingredients

  • 1 large head cauliflower
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped mango
  • 1/2 red onion, finely diced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed and minced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cauliflower rice: Remove the leaves from the head of cauliflower and cut it into florets. Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until you have fine rice like crumbles.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice, salt, and black pepper to taste. Cook for 5 7 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Prepare the guacamole: In a bowl, mash the avocados with a fork or potato masher. Squeeze in the lime juice and add salt to taste. Mix well.
  4. Prepare the mango salsa: In another bowl, combine the chopped mango, red onion, jalapeno pepper, and cilantro. Season with a pinch of salt and mix gently.
  5. Assemble the tacos: Heat the corn tortillas in a dry pan for 10 15 seconds on each side to make them pliable. Add a scoop of cauliflower rice to each tortilla, followed by a spoonful of guacamole and a generous portion of mango salsa.
  6. Serve immediately, garnishing with a sprinkle of ground cumin and smoked paprika for an extra touch of flavor.
