  • For the sauce, blend the boiled serrano chiles with the hydrated morita chile, garlic, light sour cream, avocado, mustard, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper until obtaining a thick sauce. Refrigerate.
  • Prepare the garnish; in a bowl, place the sliced purple cabbage, add white vinegar, tomato, cucumber, pineapple, and cilantro; season with salt and pepper and mix until combined. Set aside.
  • Place the cauliflower in a heatproof container, pour in a little water, cover with plastic wrap, and cook for 5 minutes in the microwave.
  • In a bowl, mix the wheat flour with salt, baking powder, garlic powder, and black pepper until combined. Add the egg and gradually pour in the beer while stirring; you should obtain a slightly thick mixture.Dip the cold cauliflower pieces into the previous mixture and fry them in hot oil over medium-low heat, ensuring there is enough oil so that they do not deform or burn while cooking. Fry for 5 minutes and drain on absorbent paper.
  • To form the tacos, place the battered cauliflower on the leaves of Lechuga Trío Eva®, drizzle with creamy sauce to taste, and add the garnish; serve with pickled onion and lime to taste.
