Roasted Cauliflower & Chickpea Tacos



I’ve been looking to incorporate more meatless meals into our rotation recently, so when a challenge group participant shared this recipe with me, I couldn’t wait to try it! Phil loves tacos in all forms, so I knew he would be on board with trying these as well. They were definitely a hit and we have made them several times. As with all tacos, you can get creative with the toppings!
