Charred Cauliflower and Red Onion Tacos

If there’s one food I absolutely love, it’s tacos. You can mix and match all kinds of ingredients. I always try to change it up every time though. This was my first go at these charred cauliflower and red onion tacos and wow, they are delicious 😋🌮. These tacos have a mouthwatering smoky flavor from the combination of fire roasted corn and chipotle salsa 🤤. The cabbage adds the perfect crunch factor that most crave. These tacos are a joy to eat and contain a significant amount of nutrients from the cauliflower and cabbage all the way to the black beans (oh yeah, there’s black beans in here too) 🤯.
