I’ve had a craving for cheddar cheese. I love the way it enhances other foods, especially broccoli and cauliflower. I have a couple ways to combine them here today.
First, I have a yummy side dish for you: Baked Potatoes with Broccoli and Cheese Sauce:
You can, of course, switch it up and put the cauliflower in the baked potatoes or the broccoli in the tacos. However your taste buds steer you!
While the potatoes are baking, make the cheese sauce. This is the hardest part of the whole thing, but don’t worry–it’s not very hard!
Cheese Sauce for Vegetables
Next, steam the broccoli:
To serve, cut open a potato, stuff some broccoli in there, then drizzle cheese sauce on top. Yum!
Next, save some of that cheese sauce for some easy-to-make Tacos With Cauliflower and Refried Beans.
Gather up the basics:
1 can refried beans
taco shells
cauliflower
avocado
I forgot to put the taco seasoning in the picture, but grab a packet of your favorite taco seasoning. Heat the refried beans in a pan on the stove or else in a glass bowl in the microwave. Cut up about half a head of cauliflower into small florets and microwave them with some taco seasoning sprinkled on top and about a tablespoon of water, covered, for 3 minutes; then stir and microwave for an additional minute.
In the meantime, heat the taco shells in the oven according to package instructions.
To assemble, spoon some refried beans into a taco shell, top with some cauliflower and cheese sauce, as well as some diced avocado. How easy was THAT??!!
