Cauliflower Al Pastor

Al Pastor Tacos are a street-food classic; usually pork shoulder slow roasted on a spit and slathered with a baste of achiote paste, guajillo and ancho chiles, cumin, and vinegar. The roasted pork is shaved directly into warm, corn tortillas and topped with fresh pineapple and cilantro to balance the heat. They’re heavenly. But, most of us don’t have a rotisserie at the ready, access to dried chiles, and we aim to keep things weeknight friendly. So, we made a vegetarian version!

We ate this in a bowl with some grain-free tortilla chips, but loaded into a tortilla or over rice would be great as well. It is heavily spiced, the heat mainly coming from the chipotle, so reduce the amounts by half if you need a more family-friendly version.
