With riced cauliflower, these come together in a flash with a few pantry staples – garlic, chipotle chili pepper, cumin and oregano. Not to mention the most amazing avocado crema sauce that gets drizzled on top.

I used corn tortillas but flour (or gluten-free) tortillas will work beautifully here. I also love switching these up in crispy tacos or even burrito bowls. So good, and so perfect with a squeeze of lemon juice on top!
