4.6 stars

EASY, tasty weeknight meal. The only reason I gave this 4.6 stars and not higher was because the sauce was more on the acidic side -- need to reduce the lime juice. It also needed another flavor like sriracha.

Ingredients: ramen noodles, seasoned rice vinegar, red pepper flakes/Aleppo-style, toasted sesame oil, extra-virgin olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, toasted sesame seeds, Kosher salt

Vegetable Ingredients (not limited to the following shredded/shaved): radishes, carrots, scallions, cabbage, lettuce, zucchini, cucumbers

Tips:

• Add seared tofu
• Add sriracha at the table to taste
• Serve with spring rolls or gyoza

4.9 stars

This was YUMMY and so easy to make! I almost gave this 5 stars. There's so much flavor and texture in these tacos -- beats almost any other vegetarian taco I've had!

Cauliflower Ingredients: cauliflower, oil, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, sea salt

Sauce Ingredients: fire-roasted tomatoes, almonds, chipotle in adobo, garlic, lime, smoked paprika, cumin, sea salt, maple syrup, olive oil

For Serving: tortillas, cilantro, red cabbage, pepitas, avocado, lime

Tips:

• Used roasted almonds instead of raw almonds to save time
• Didn't add in the 1-2 raw garlic cloves into the sauce
• Preferred flour tortillas to corn tortillas
• Used the pepitas from a Chick-fil-a salad (had extra packets) that I had in the pantry
• If using just 1 head of cauliflower, make half the sauce as there was a lot of sauce left over
