    Whilst you wait to make your pesto - simply blitzing all the remaining ingredients into a sauce

  • Step 5

    Line an oven tray with foil

  • Step 6

    Place your steamed cauliflower on the oven tray (test if ready by sticking a knife through one of the floret stems and it should poke through - be careful not to over steam otherwise the cauliflower will become a mush)

    Place your taco shells in the oven as per instructions and meanwhile

  • Step 8

    Coat your cauliflower in coriander & spinach pesto and top up with grated cheese

    Sauce up with a spicy sauce if you fancy

    You can also BBQ your cauliflower which would taste even better
