Crispy Cauliflower Tacos with a Sweet and Spicy Brussel Sprout Slaw

Have you ever watch @hotforfoodRECIPE?! Videos? That's pretty much me on a daily basis 😅 I have like a bunch of random things in my fridge that I impulsively buy with no plans or meal ideas. Bad right?

This is what I had in my fridge that I want to get rid of because it was going bad: cauliflower florets, corn tortillas, brussel sprouts, and some romaine lettuce. I could have made a roasted veggie salad and tortilla strips, but I wanted something more comforting and I was kind of craving a taco. I mean when you have tortillas, you have to make tacos!

For these tacos, I seasoned them with tons of garlic powder and a bit of paprika and salt, then shallow fried them. For the brussel sprouts, I like to shave them nice and thin so they crispy while sautéing them. Season it with a bit of maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, chili flakes, and s&p. Add the some spicy mayo to the mix and it's all good to go! Toss in some romaine because why not! So easy and soooooooo good!
