Tacos, as we probably all know, are a Mexican classic. It’d be a mistake to talk about how Taco Tuesdays can bring variety and excitement to your weeknight meals without mentioning a few of our favourite fusion recipes to help mix things up. While cumin is a common seasoning in many Mexican dishes, it originates from Egypt and often appears in North African and Middle Eastern dishes. Our roasted cauliflower and crispy chickpea tacos have all the fresh, bright flavours of Middle Eastern cuisine, but in a taco! Top with traditional fixings, or try them with some sliced tomatoes, flat-leaf parsley, and our lemon and garlic tahini sauce.
