Hey everybody, welcome to the Take Out Diet. Today I am extra excited because we will be making
something that has not even come out yet.
The Taco Bell Doritos Locos Taco Cool Ranch edition. And tomorrow we will be making the regular
Doritos Locos Tacos, because we have not made that yet either. And it is just going to be so fun.
Here we go.
I am going to start this recipe by placing one head worth of cauliflower florets into a food processor along with
2 - 3 cloves of garlic. You may want to go with 2 or just 1 clove of garlic, but I love garlic. So I am going to put in 3.
Blend it until it has reached a fine consistency but you don't want it to be mush.
And then put in your chopped walnuts. I have chopped walnuts, if you have whole or half
walnuts, put them in with the cauliflower to begin with. But since mine were already chopped straight from the store,
I put them in at the end. Just to mix it all together. Put all of you cauliflower mixture into a large bowl and
now we are going to season it.
I am going to add olive oil, soy sauce, liquid smoke, salt, and mexican taco seasoning.
I have this Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle Seasoning Blend. Stir it all up until it is well mixed together.
What you don't want is big clumps of white cauliflower that hasn't been seasoned, so stir until
you see no more clumps of white.
Pre heat your oven to 350 degrees F and then spray a baking sheet with nonstick baking spray.
Spread out your cauliflower mixture all seasoned and mixed together, and bake it for 45 minutes to an hour.
Every 15 minutes you want to come back and stir it all together and re distribute it
because you want to get the wet part from the bottom up to the top. When it is done, it should all be browned and seperaty
and you know, it should look like ground beef.
Next we are going to make our nacho cheese sauce.
To a saucepan we are going to add in unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, the juice of half a lemon,
cornstarch, tahini, garlic powder, onion powder, some more of that taco seasoning, and salt.
Whisk it all together until it is smooth and well combined. You don't want any lumps. Who wants lumpy cheese?
Then bring it to a bowl. Once it boils, let it simmer until everything is thick.
Our last step is to make our beautiful Doritos Cool Ranch Shell. I'm I the only one growing up, called them Cooler Ranch?
Where did that come from? I though my whole life that they were called Cooler Ranch Doritos,
until I looked at the bag and say that no. I was wrong and ignorant.
So first we are going to make our seasoning blend. I have parsley, dill, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt,
black pepper, and at the last minute I thought it needed something else, so I added some nutritional yeast.
Our last step is to lay out our corn tortillas and brush them in olive oil.
Dust them with our seasoning blend on one side. I did on both sides but that turned out to be a mistake.
Dont do that. Then we are going to lay them over our baking rake. If you just lay them over one stem in the baking rake,
it will split like this, so lay them over two. The seasoning side up, because that is going to be on the outside.
Push it into you oven and bake for 10 - 12 minutes. They should be hard and crunchy when they are done,
but don't over do them so 10 minutes should be enough and we are going to stuff them.
We have our ground beef, some sour cream ( I use Tofutti brand), lettuce, diced roma tomatoes, and our nacho cheese sauce.
No lets give these a taste. The first thing that came to my mind when I tasted this masterpiece was
this is like flavor town USA.
I think Guy Fieri says that, but it was so flavorful. It was like ranch this and sour cream and cheese and taco and
it was so good. Like, it was unbelievable. I ate the whole entire thing.
Like it was so good. It was the best thing my mouth has tasted in at least a year. It has been awhile since my taste buds
have salivated and praised and glorified something that awesome.
It was so awesome. Like I am shaking. I am ready to eat the other two so I am about to go.
