About the Recipe

A bold, smoky marinade elevates roasted cauliflower in this meal-prep version of our popular Chipotle-Lime Cauliflower Tacos.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup lime juice (from about 2 limes)

  • 1-2 tablespoons chopped chipotles in adobo sauce (see Tip)

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 small head cauliflower, cut into bite-size pieces

  • 1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced

  • 2 cups cooked quinoa, cooled (see Associated Recipes)

  • 1 cup no-salt-added canned black beans, rinsed

  • ½ cup crumbled queso fresco

  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage

  • 1 medium avocado

  • 1 lime, cut into 4 wedges (Optional)

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.

  2. Combine lime juice, chipotles to taste, honey, garlic and salt in a blender. Process until mostly smooth. Place cauliflower in a large bowl; add the sauce and stir to coat. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle onion over the cauliflower. Roast, stirring once, until the cauliflower is tender and browned in spots, 18 to 20 minutes; set aside to cool.

  3. Divide quinoa among 4 single-serving lidded containers (1/2 cup each). Top each with one-fourth of the cauliflower mixture, 1/4 cup black beans and 2 tablespoons cheese. Seal the containers and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

  4. To reheat 1 container, vent the lid and microwave on High until steaming, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Top with 1/4 cup cabbage and 1/4 avocado (sliced). Serve with a lime wedge, if desired.
