Cauliflower Tacos
Prepare grill for direct grilling targeting 400-450 degrees F.
Blanch the cauliflower florets in boiling water for about 2 minutes. Quickly remove and place the florets in a large bowl with ice and water. This will stop the cooking process immediately and help keep the florets crisp.
Season: Remove cauliflower from the water and ice bath and pat them dry gently on a large sheet tray. Then coat them with olive oil and the Cajun spice.
Place the seasoned florets over the direct heat and on the grill, rotate the cauliflower as it chars, about 10 minutes you should have a good amount of char on the florets, remove and keep warm. If you wish you can warm the tortillas on the grill enough to get nice grill marks. This will add some good texture to the corn tortillas
