Instructions
- Keep a pot of water boiling, add in the cauliflower florets and let them boil until they are barely soft exactly about 3 minutes. Please use a timer so you do not over cook them.
- Strain the water and run cold water to stop them from cooking further. Leave it aside.
- Take flour and corn starch in a mixing bowl, add other dry spices. Stir to mix and add about ¼ cup water. Mix it well. Keep the batter thick, more like pancake batter. Not too thin nor too thick. Cauliflower florets should be able to coat in the batter.
- Take oil in a deep pan on medium heat. Once the oil is hot, dip each cauliflower florets into the batter and fry them in batches.
- Remove them on an absorbent paper.
- To assemble tacos – Warm the tortilla directly on the flame using tongs, place cauliflower florets, add pico de gallo, cheese, sauces of your choice.
