Method 7
- 01
Make the Crispy Breaded Cauliflower (about 40 minutes total; use the remaining time to complete the steps below.)
- 02
Taste the canned refried beans and if needed, mix with ½ teaspoon cumin and/or a pinch or two kosher salt . (Or, you can make my Simple Refried Black Beans ; for this recipe I prefer using store-bought for ease.) Warm them gently in a pot on the stove or in the microwave.
- 03
Thinly slice the cabbage , enough for 2 cups. Mix it with 2 tablespoons lime juice and a pinch or two of salt. Allow it to stand at room temperature until serving.
- 04
Make the Yum Yum Sauce : mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
- 05
Warm the tortillas, or char them by placing them on grates above an open gas flame on medium heat for a few seconds per side, flipping with tongs, until they are slightly blackened and warm.
- 06
Chop the cilantro for a garnish.
- 07
To serve, place refried beans in a tortilla, top with cabbage, breaded cauliflower, Yum Yum sauce, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges to spritz prior to serving. (If you have leftover cauliflower, you can reheat them in a 350F oven for 10 minutes, flipping once.)
