Baked Enchilada Cauliflower Taco Salad

Just finding all the ways to make cauliflower and I’m obsessed with this combo. I always love a good taco salad and now can use this as a way to switch it up from the usual. This is a great alternative for a vegetarian meal because it still is loaded with protein!

One thing I love about cauliflower is the variety of ways that you can cook with it. Honestly, I think it can be a little bland on it’s own, but it’s a vehicle for a bunch of great recipes.

If you haven’t already tried these cauliflower recipes, you’ll love:

• Buffalo Baked Cauliflower
• Sweet & Sour Cauliflower
• Harissa Tahini Cauliflower (Truefood Kitchen remake!)

Taco salads make for an easy lunch or dinner! They are great to also prep for the week. Just prep the ingredients that you’ll use for the salad by chopping and storing the veggies, making the cauliflower ahead of time, etc.

If you’re meal prepping some of these ingredients, I like to use these containers. Great for storage of all different items!

Recipe tip: if using a larger head of cauliflower, add more enchilada sauce
