🌮 The Most Surprising Taco I've Ever Made - Hot Honey Roasted Cabbage Tacos

I’ll admit it--when someone first suggested cabbage tacos, I was skeptical. After all, when most of us think tacos, cabbage isn't exactly the star of the show. But after seeing cabbage pop up everywhere lately, I decided to see what all the fuss was about!

Let's just say I understand now. Roasting cabbage transforms it completely. The edges become slightly crispy, the center stays tender, and when you add a drizzle of hot honey and a tangy lime crema, something magical happens. Sweet, spicy, creamy and crunchy, all show up to the same party!

What I love most is that it's made from simple ingredients that I usually have on hand. It's budget-friendly, easy to prepare and works equally well for a casual weeknight dinner or when friends drop by.

One of my favorite twists? Swapping the lime crema for crumbled goat cheese. The tanginess pairs perfectly with the sweet heat from the honey. YUM!!

And, here's the recipe in the featured image...

As someone who loves discovering & creating new recipes, I can see why cabbage has become such a popular ingredient. It's versatile, affordable and a fantastic way to add more vegetables to your menu without feeling like you're sacrificing flavor.

Have you ever tried roasted cabbage? If not, this might be the recipe that changes your mind! ENJOY!!

Hi Debe- with the exception of Cauliflower (ugh), I love all roasted veggies. Cabbage is a favorite of mine so I may give this one a try.    It's hard to say Cabbage Tacos out loud in Texas.

Good morning, Debe... I love cabbage... in any form -- cooked, roasted, raw. I's sure it's the Russian blood in me. My issue would be with honey as I'm allergic to it.

Good morning Debe. You had me at "cabbage". Like Nina, the honey may be a problem but can be overcome. Who knew the Rain would be a recipe heaven? Thanks of your contribution. Enjoy your cabbage tacos.

Sounds delicious Debe!  I don't cook that often with cabbage but it would be fun to add this to this list.  Hopefully Gary could get around not having steak tacos!!

Hi Debe Maxwell, CRS 

My mother made the best stuffed cabbage with the same ingredients I used to use when I made meatloaf. The cabbage was the best part and when it was topped with tomatoes, tomato paste, or tomato puree it was even better! Also, other times she used Sour Kraut inside the pot of stuffed cabbage cooked on top the stove. 

I'll have to try the recipe you shared for cabbage tacos. I have a feeling I will love it!

Thanks for sharing. It sounds healthy too!
