It’s a bit like the chicken and the egg… which came first, the quesadilla or the salsa? Let’s give them equal billing in a meatless Mexican-inspired meal. Our riced cauliflower once again proves its adaptability, when sautéed with garlic and spices, and combined with grated Oaxaca cheese for a heart-melting tortilla filler. Char tomatillos in a pan, shoot ’em with lime and cilantro, and you’ve got a sharp salsa fit for a fiesta.
