- By Carolyn Malcoun |

In this vegetarian taco recipe, cauliflowe­r is tossed with a smokytangy sauce made with honey, lime juice and chipotles in adobo sauce before being roasted. Serve with more hot sauce, if desired. ¼ cup lime juice (from about 2 limes)

1 to 2 tablespoon­s chopped chipotles in adobo sauce

1 tablespoon honey

2 cloves garlic

½ teaspoon salt

1 small head cauliflowe­r, cut into bitesize pieces

1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced 1 15-ounce can refried black beans, warmed 8 corn tortillas, warmed

½ cup crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese

Sliced red cabbage, fresh cilantro, guacamole, jalapeno slices and/or lime wedges for serving

Preheat oven to 450 F.

Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.

Combine lime juice, chipotles to taste, honey, garlic and salt in a blender. Process until mostly smooth. Place cauliflowe­r in a large bowl, add the sauce and stir to coat. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle onion on top.

Roast, stirring once, until the cauliflowe­r is tender and browned in spots, 18 to 20 minutes.

Serve the vegetables and beans in tortillas, topped with cheese and garnished with cabbage, cilantro, guacamole, jalapenos and/or lime wedges.

To prep cauliflowe­r: Remove any outer leaves. Cut off the stem. Turn head upside down and, holding the knife at a 45-degree angle, slice around the stem to remove the core from the center of head. Cut the head into large florets. Then cut or slice florets to desired sizes.
