For the chickpea salad I cooked the chickpeas in a pan along with some liquid smoke, coffee, black pepper and garlic powder. I smashed them a bit while cooking and once all liquid was absorbed/dissolved I mixed with Veganaise, dill relish and minced onion.

Note: I also make this without cooking the chickpeas.

Spicy Cauliflower Tacos

I chop/break apart the cauliflower into pretty small pieces then toss them in a mix of a Mexican hot sauce (like Valentina) till the small florets are coated. Roast them in 400 oven till well done (nearly burnt) 30+ minutes.
Top the tacos with a slaw made of red cabbage, mayo (I use Veganaise) and whatever spices. I included cumin, onion powder and chile powder). I also added chopped green onion.
