Chef’s Tip:
Ready to make some vegan tacos? Replace the chicken with cauliflower. Cut the cauliflower florets into thin-sized pieces. In boiling water, blanch for 3 minutes. Remove from the water and marinate in the sauce. Put in the refrigerator for 1 hour, and when ready to serve, sauté in olive oil.
