Best Grilled Cauliflower Fajitas Recipe
Swap meat for cauliflower in this recipe from NYC chef Ivy Stark
You may have been to El Toro Blanco before, but the West Village Mexican hot spot just got a face-lift: in the form of chef Ivy Stark, who spent years building up the Dos Caminos mini empire. Now that the menu is in her capable hands, she's giving it a Baja-leaning revamp, with dishes like Mexican beef tartare, chile-roasted fish with bright slaw and these cauliflower "fajitas." Make 'em a meal by serving them with quinoa, a green salad or refried beans—and, of course, a margarita.
