Cauliflower Tacos with Cilantro Lime Sauce



I picked up a Clean Eating Magazine for my trip to Texas last week and was super inspired by a few of the the recipes within it and have been trying to weave them into our meal plan since I've been back!  One of the recipes that interested me was the Chipotle Cauliflower Tacos with Jalapeño Cilantro Sauce so I thought I would give it a go!  




The recipe was surprisingly easy to put together and I did change it up a little bit based on what we had on hand.  Actually my homemade taco seasoning recipe which I used for mine has quite a kick lately and I've been trying to figure out what's going on!  I think that the Chili Power I've been using is spicy perhaps!  I've been using a Mexican chili powder for years and never had a problem with it being spicy until recently so maybe I need to switch up the chili powder!  Whatever the reason our Taco Seasoning has been seriously spicing up our meals lately so I decided that I would leave the Jalapeño out of the sauce which I was grateful for as it helped to cool the spice down!




I also used Large Living Butter Lettuce leaves instead of corn tortillas since I'm following the Portion Fix right now and only have 2 Yellow containers per day available!  I love these Living Butter Lettuce packages, I find them perfect for doing lettuce wrapped tacos with any filling and have used them in several recipes.  You can also use large Bibb or Boston lettuce leaves.  




I had 3 Lettuce Wrapped Cauliflower tacos and I would count them on the Portion fix as 2 green containers so that's a win!  I topped my tacos with a little thin sliced yellow pepper and then drizzled with the Cilantro Lime Sauce.
