“Yum! Just Yum!

This was a hit tonight with everyone. These added that heartiness and chew factor that sings inside of a taco. You know when you bite down and there’s a little something to there that adds to your taco experience. I liked how the cauliflower was easy to defrost and cooked so fast:)

I made this along with two pans of fajitas onions/peppers, two pans of shredded fajita seasoned tofu and an instant pot full of texmex beans:) Then served with hot sauce, guacamole, salsa, crunchy lettuce and Chipotle sauce.” – Club member Amber
