  • Total Time: 0 hours
  • Yield: N/A

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head cauliflower
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1 lb ground turkey sausage
  • 7 tsp Taco seasoning (divided into 2 tbsp and 1 tsp)
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 3/4 cup tomatoes (diced – i used grape tomatoes)
  • 1/3 cup red onion (sliced)
  • 1/2 medium avocado (diced)
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C) and grease a baking sheet well.
  2. Cut the cauliflower into florets and slice them thinly to create 'chips'.
  3. Toss the cauliflower chips with avocado oil and 1 teaspoon of taco seasoning.
  4. Arrange the cauliflower chips in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes, or until browned and crispy around the edges.
  5. In the meantime, brown the turkey sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes, breaking it apart while cooking until completely cooked through. Mix in the taco seasoning and stir well.
  6. Once the cauliflower is done, flip the pieces over and crumble the taco seasoned turkey sausage on top of the nachos. Layer with red onion and tomatoes before sprinkling on the shredded cheese.
  7. Return the tray to the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Top with diced avocado and fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

Feel free to mix different toppings like jalapeños or olives for extra flavor.
For a vegetarian version, replace turkey sausage with black beans or lentils.
