I've been having fun at Tanaka Farms making interesting recipes with the seasonal produce. I made these tacos a few months back, and am getting ready to start creating more farm-to-table recipes, so stay tuned! With a base of sautéed greens, a meaty cauliflower center, and topped with a crisp citrus slaw with apple and broccoli stems, these tacos are sure to please…you won’t even miss the meat!

To make the Apple Broccoli Slaw, add romaine, chard stems, broccoli stems, and Fuji apple to a large bowl and toss to combine. In a separate small bowl, whisk together orange juice, lemon juice, rice vinegar, oil, and garlic salt. Add dressing to slaw. Toss to combine. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.
To make the Cauliflower Meat, in a frying pan, heat oil over medium high heat. Add cauliflower and spices and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, or until tender. Set Aside.
To make the Sautéed Greens, in a very large pan or wok or large pot, over medium high heat, add a small amount of oil, about 1 tablespoon. (If you are using the same pan as the taco meat, you can adjust, as the pan already will have some oil in it.)
Add all of the greens and toss to cook until wilted and reduced in size by about 75%. About 5 minutes. Turning regularly.
Fold in garlic salt. Add lemon juice and toss to coat. Remove from heat.
To assemble the tacos, stack 2 tortillas together and layer in the following order:
