2/3 cup basmati rice (we use a basmati wild rice mix)
400g / 14oz tinned black beans
200g / 7oz tinned sweetcorn
handful coriander
handful lettuce leaves
lime wedges
For the taco seasoning if making from scratch:
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
pinch of chilli powder
1/4 tsp onion granules
1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
Ranch dressing (optional)
1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
1 or 2 tbsp oat milk
1/2 tsp dried dill
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder or 1 garlic clove, crushed
pinches of salt & pepper
1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar (optional)
1/4 tsp dried mixed herbs (optional)
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C / 390°F fan-assisted.
Slice the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces and cut the pepper into thin strips, removing the seeds as you go. Transfer both to a baking tray and drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper. If you’re making the taco seasoning from scratch, combine all the ingredients in a bowl, then sprinkle the seasoning all over the veggies and combine with your hands. Roast for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile cook the rice as per packet instructions.
To prepare the salsa, dice the pineapple, red onion, cherry tomatoes and green chilli, and transfer to a mixing bowl. Squeeze in the juice of the lime and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine, then set to one side for later.
Heat a little oil in a frying pan on a medium heat. Drain the sweetcorn and add to the frying pan. Fry for 5-10 minutes until charred, stirring occasionally.
Once the rice is ready, drain and rinse the black beans and add them to the rice along with a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
Prepare the toppings by picking the leaves off the coriander, slice the lettuce and cut the lime into wedges.
To build the cauliflower taco bowl, spoon half of the rice mixture into each bowl, followed by half the roasted red peppers, cauliflower, coriander, salsa, lettuce leaves and sweetcorn.
Prepare the ranch dressing by combining all of the ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
To finish, drizzle the ranch dressing over the cauliflower taco bowls and voila!

Unsweetened is definitely best! You want to avoid making the dressing too sweet – we use oat milk and it worked really well, but unsweetened soy milk would also work.
Yummm – it was delicious! I’m a vegetarian so I modified it a bit to suit my allergy restrictions. My friends loved it too even though there was neither meat nor cheese. Yay!!!! Thank you xo
This recipe is absolutely delicious and a big hit to whoever comes round for dinner. People go around screaming this recipe at their vegan friends.
This time, my flatmates are not in for dinner as planned, so I’ve prepared them some lunch boxes. I quite enjoy this freshly made, but do you recommend reheating this at all? I think not.
I made this last night for dinner and it was AMAZING! I also had it for breakfast today and it was the perfect breakfast! Being vegan AND GF is challenging. I’m so grateful for your recipes! I used Oat milk It was apparently sweetened but still tasted great! I used cilantro in the bowl too. Didn’t have any dill so just lots of other things – pepper, salt, smoked paprika. SO GOOD!!!!

Which have you found works better in the dressing, almond or soy milk? And plain unsweetened?

Thanks Joe. We’d avoid reheating the rice, but it should be fine to reheat the cauliflower 🙂
