Hallelujah! Cauliflower Tacos w/ Coconut Cream Sauce (Vegan)

Hallelujah! Siete Foods now makes a paleo/vegan/gluten and grain-free taco shell that is actually good!  No more shoe-leather substitutions made from scratch (by me).

Hallelujah! because the dairy-free sauce in the recipe is also good on hamburgers and salmon.

And Hallelujah! because OMG it’s spicy! Not for the faint of heart.

The Brand New Vegan chef who developed this dish nailed the flavors. And be sure to look for Siete Foods taco shells in your local market or through their store locator here.

*My Paleo Marin Rating between 1-5 Persimmons

I try out these recipes so you don't have to (and modify them for Paleo where possible). The rating will reflect my opinion of the final result in terms of taste, ease of preparation, nutrition, and sometimes, cost.
