Who said vegetarian tacos are boring? These Roasted Cauliflower Tacos with Avocado Cream Sauce and a purple cabbage and carrot slaw is everything - delicious crunchy texture, zesty, tasty and filling too!

Roasted Cauliflower Tacos with Avocado Cream Sauce

We used to do Taco Tuesdays up until a year ago and then with the pregnancy and new baby and all that, just getting a fresh dinner on the table most days was a win. Well, UberEats is a win most days too, especially if we thought ahead to order from a place we love, without paying the premium for peak time delivery 😀

We recently brought back Taco Tuesdays after I started meal planning again.

Roasted cauliflower is a favorite dinner side, along with roasted brussels sprouts, roasted broccoli and roasted asparagus. So, I figured, why not bring in our favorite side to be our taco filling.
