Best 6 Barbacoa Cauliflower Tacos Recipes

BARBACOA CAULIFLOWER TACOS

Steps:

• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a glass mixing bowl, stir together the vegetable oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt and pepper. In a large stainless-steel mixing bowl, pour the combined seasonings over the cauliflower florets. Toss together. Spread out evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until slightly browned and crisp, about 25 minutes.
• For the tomatillo avocado salsa: In a small saucepan, add the tomatillos and jalapeno to boiling water, then boil for about 10 minutes. Drain, then transfer it to a food processor. Add the cilantro, avocado, garlic, salt to taste and pepper. Puree, then adjust salt as needed.
• For the slaw: Combine the apple cider vinegar, honey, lime juice, salt, pepper and olive oil in a mixing bowl and mix to incorporate. Shave the cabbage using a mandoline and drop into the vinaigrette; mix to incorporate.
• For the tortillas: Take 4 tortillas and dip them into your favorite red enchilada sauce. Place the coated tortillas in a well-oiled cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the tortillas are crispy and have a red tint, 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
• To serve: Place the slaw in a line down the center of each tortilla (divide the slaw evenly). Evenly distribute the cauliflower filling into each tortilla. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the salsa across the top of each taco. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of crumbled Cotija cheese onto each taco.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Heat about 2 inches vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or cast-iron skillet over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
• For the cabbage slaw: Toss together the green cabbage, red cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, honey, sour cream and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
• For the chipotle avocado sauce: Combine the chipotle in adobo sauce and the cilantro in a mini food processor, pulsing until finely chopped and scraping down the sides as needed. Add the avocado, lime juice, sour cream and 1/2 teaspoon salt and process until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
• For the crispy cauliflower: Whisk together the white rice flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the beer until smooth (the texture and consistency should resemble pancake batter).
• Dip one-third of the cauliflower florets in the batter and coat well. Allow the excess batter to drip off and carefully place cauliflower into the hot oil. Fry until cauliflower is tender and golden brown on all side, 4 to 5 minutes total.
• Transfer with a slotted spoon to the prepared baking sheet, season lightly with salt and hold in the warm oven. Bring the oil back to 350 degrees F. Repeat with the remaining cauliflower and batter and fry two more batches.
• To toast the tortillas, warm in batches in a dry large skillet over medium-low heat, 5 seconds per side, or wrap in a damp kitchen towel and microwave for 25 seconds. Wrap in a dry kitchen towel to keep warm.
• To assemble, spread a layer of the Chipotle Avocado Sauce in the center of each toasted tortilla. Top with a few pieces of Crispy Cauliflower, Cabbage Slaw and pico de gallo. Serve with lime wedges.

BARBACOA

Steps:

• Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Place the dried guajillo chiles into the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until the color changes and the chiles have puffed, about 5 minutes. Set the chiles aside to cool for a moment. Meanwhile, toast the cumin and cloves in the hot skillet until the cumin seeds begin to pop; remove from the pan and set aside. Remove and discard the stems, seeds, and veins of the chiles, and place into a small bowl. Pour the boiling water over top, and cover. Let the chiles soak for 1 hour.
• Grind the toasted cumin and cloves into a powder, and place into a blender. Add the ancho chile powder, onion, garlic, oregano, thyme, vinegar, and lime juice. Remove the chiles from the soaking water, and place into the blender along with 1/3 cup of the soaking liquid. Cover, and blend until a smooth paste forms.
• Place the beef roast into a mixing bowl, and pour the guajillo chile past over top. Coat the roast on all sides with the paste, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
• Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Transfer the roast and marinade to a roasting pan, and arrange the bay leaves over top. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven until the meat is very tender and is easily pulled apart with a fork, about 6 hours. Let stand, covered, at room temperature for 1 hour before discarding the bay leaves and shredding with two forks.
