Crispy Cauliflower Tacos with Cashew Cream
- 1- 1/2 cup Raw Cashews
- 1 cup Water (plus More For Soaking)
- 1 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
- 1/2 cups Canola Or Vegetable Oil (more As Needed)
- 3/4 cups All-purpose Flour
- 2 Eggs, Beaten
- 1/2 cups Panko Bread Crumbs
- 1/2 cups Regular Bread Crumbs
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/4 teaspoons Black Pepper
- 1/4 teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 1/4 teaspoons Chili Powder
- 1 head Cauliflower, Cored And Cut Into Bite-sized Pieces
- 10 Corn Or Flour Tortillas, Warmed Through
- 1 cup Purple Cabbage Chopped
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Chives, Chopped
- 2 Tablespoons Raw Cashews, Chopped
- Note the prep time includes one hour of soak time for the cashews.
- Cashews can be soaked up to 24 hours.
- For the cashew cream: In a large bowl, add the raw cashews.
- Completely submerge the cashews with water and soak for at least an hour or up to 24 hours.
- Once the cashews have soaked, drain and transfer them to a blender.
- Add the listed amount of water and sea salt.
- Blend on high for 4-5 minutes (or longer if needed) until the cashews are completely smooth.
- Thin out with more water if necessary.
- Place cashew cream in an airtight container and store in the fridge where it will keep for 3-4 days; or you may freeze for up to 3 months.
- For the Crispy Cauliflower Tacos: Heat the oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium to medium-high heat.
- While your oil is heating up, place the all-purpose flour in a shallow bowl, the eggs in a separate shallow bowl and the panko, regular breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and chili powder in a third shallow bowl.
- Mix the breadcrumb mixture together until thoroughly combined.
- In batches of 6-7 cauliflower pieces, dredge in flour, then in egg and then in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere where needed.
- Place the cauliflower into the hot oil and fry for 2 minutes on each side or until crispy and brown.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, and repeat for the remaining cauliflower.
- Assemble your tacos, by placing a layer of chopped cabbage on the bottom of each warm tortilla.
- Top with crispy cauliflower and then drizzle on the cashew cream.
- Sprinkle with chives and raw cashews.
- Enjoy immediately!
- Note: Cashews can be soaked anywhere from 1 hour up to 24 hours (or even longer if needed).
- I find cashews best for this cashew cream after soaking for at least a day.
