Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Step 2

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a silicone baking sheet or parchment paper, NOT foil.

Step 3

Remove florets from the cauliflower (aka don't use the stem).

Step 4

Chop the cauliflower into smaller pieces to resemble the size of wings.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk all the batter ingredients together EXCEPT the bread crumbs. Place the bread crumbs in a bowl. Line it up beside the batter bowl.

Step 6

Toss the cauliflower in the mixture one at a time, shaking off excess batter. Then, dip the cauliflower into the breadcrumbs to coat, then place onto the baking sheet. Repeat until all of the wings are coated.

Step 7

Bake for 22 minutes.

Step 8

While baking, prepare the ingredients for the sauce by whisking together.

Step 9

Remove from oven. You can stop here, and serve the wings sauceless with sauce on the side. The wings will be crispy this way. Alternatively, coat the wings in the sauce. With a pastry brush, brush the sauce onto the wings. Bake for another 5 minutes for the sauce to soak into the wings.

Step 10

Remove from oven and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Step 11

Mix all the ingredients for the slaw together while cauliflower is baking. Let sit on the counter or in fridge if not using immediately while everything else is being made so all the flavours can marry together.

Step 12

While cauliflower is baking, in a small food processor or with an immersion blender, blend all the ingredients together. Add a tablespoon or water to thin out the lime crema for drizzling if you so desire. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place in a squeeze bottle and in the fridge until ready, or in a small bowl to spoon over tacos.

Step 13

Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat (if possible, brush with a pastry brush).

Step 14

Place a taco shell in the heat until golden brown spots appear and they are slightly puffy for a few seconds, then flip and cook the same. Set on a plate to assemble.

Step 15

Layer with slaw, crispy cauliflower, avocados, jalapeños and cilantro over the soft taco shells.

Step 16

Drizzle the taco shells with the chipotle crema.

Step 17

Serve with limes. Enjoy!
