Cauliflower Taco With Vegan Tofu Mayo

Cauliflower Taco with vegan tofu mayo.

Tacos are undoubtedly one of my most favorite food from the time I move to California. I get relate to Mexican food and Indian food a lot, both use Tortillas/Rotis, Beans/Lentils, lot of use of tomatoes and onions and of course chicken. I generally love my taco with grilled chicken and guacamole, but this cauliflower taco made special place in my heart and stomach. It is one of the best and healthy vegetarian option for veggie lovers. I use vegan tofu mayonnaise in this recipe, it bit taste like tartar sauce. It’s tangy and bit pungent flavor of mustard paste gives very fresh and different taste to this taco.
