Easy dinner recipe idea - garbanzo bean cauliflower tacosThese vegetarian chickpea cauliflower tacos are a recipe that caught my eye on Pinterest because of their gorgeous bright colors. It’s also one of those meals that became an instant go-to dinner recipe. We made twice in one week after one batch just wasn’t enough for Pat and I!

In addition to being beautiful and delicious, these tacos are also gluten free, vegetarian, and without the lime crema – vegan! With the healthy protein of the garbanzo beans and the good fat from avocados, I promise you won’t even miss the meat.

Making this tonight - chickpea cauliflower vegetarian taco recipeThe only change we made to Three Peas and Their Pod‘s recipe was to use pickled red cabbage instead of regular. It’s so easy to pickle your own red cabbage. All you do is put the cabbage in a jar, cover it with rice vinegar and toss in some peppercorns. 24 hours later, the cabbage has turned the stunning pink color you see in these photos. And the taste! It’s definitely a step that shouldn’t be skipped.Vegetarian Chickpea Cauliflower Tacos - Need to make these!Vegetarian Chickpea Cauliflower Tacos - Need to make these!
