Ingredients

For the BBQ Cauliflower and Chickpeas:

  • ½ large head of cauliflower, chopped (or 1 small head)
  • 1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/3 cup BBQ sauce

For the Slaw:

  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1/3 cup cilantro
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For the Tacos:

  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups chopped pineapple
  • 1 avocado, chopped
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Toss the cauliflower and chickpeas in the olive oil and BBQ sauce, and spread on a baking sheet. Place in the oven and cook for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the slaw: In a medium bowl, toss together the shredded cabbage, cilantro, oil, maple syrup, vinegar, Dijon, and salt.
  • Right before serving, warm the corn tortillas. Place them, one at a time, over the direct flame of a gas stove or in a hot skillet. When they get a little charred on the bottom (15 to 60 seconds, depending on which method you’re using), flip them with tongs to warm the other side. Place them on a plate and cover with a slightly damp paper towel until you’re ready to use them.
  • Add a scoop of cauliflower and chickpeas to each tortilla. Top each with a little slaw, pineapple, avocado, and a drizzle of extra BBQ sauce. Enjoy!
