Roasted Chickpeas and Cauliflower Tacos a perfect quick hunger meal for kids to adult. Roasted Chickpeas and Cauliflower Tacos is a total healthy choice with full of satisfaction and taste! These fusion style tacos are all about the explosion of flavor, texture, freshness and hint of Indian spices. This version kills it in all three categories. The cauliflower and chickpeas have that homemade tandoori masala flavor, which I have recently made, while the cabbage, avocado, onion and fresh tomato add layers upon layer of bright flavor. What takes this to a top tier level though is hands down the cilantro mint dip, so versatile. It’s creamy and fresh and exactly what this taco needs, yes it has Indian flavor but just perfectly pair with this taco.
I tossed the chickpeas and cauliflower in the spice mixture called Homemade Tandoori Masala which I recently made. It is a mixture of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and lots of other spices. I roasted them until the chickpeas were crunchy and the cauliflower florets were tender. I could have snacked on the chickpeas and cauliflower straight from the pan (try it this way and taste it you will love it 😉 , they were so flavorful. I stopped myself because I had tacos to make!

I found this recipe long back on pinterest but unfortunately couldnt make to the blog. It was yumm, especially that cilantro dip avocadoes, unlike you i tossed cauliflower and chickpeas in garam masala. your pics are gorgeous and tempting me to try once again. And i used pita instead of tacos.
