How to make Chipotle chicken and cauliflower tacos

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (conventional) or 200°C (fan). Line two baking trays with non-stick baking paper.

2. Place the chopped chillies and reserved adobo sauce in a large bowl. Add the maple syrup, garlic, and oil, then mix to combine.

3. In a separate large bowl, add the chicken and top with half of the chipotle mixture. Toss to coat thoroughly. Add the cauliflower to the remaining chipotle mixture and toss to coat.

4. Transfer the chicken and cauliflower to the prepared trays and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is just charred on the edges, the chicken is cooked through, and the sauce has thickened.

5. To make the lime dressing, combine the yogurt, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and mix well.

6. Fill the warm tortillas with the cabbage, chicken, cauliflower, and coriander. Drizzle with the lime dressing and serve with pickled onion and lime wedges.
