Reviews
I would do the first step last because I had to reheat the cauliflower at the end because it was a little cold. I would cook the bean mixture for 10 min instead of three on high.
I really liked these tacos. I made them with black chickpeas and ground chipotle and chili powder instead if cajun seasoning. I loved them! Thank you for the recipe.
