Liven up your Meatless Monday or Taco Tuesday with these vegetarian Curried Cauliflower and Chickpea Tacos. I use naan bread as a fun take on this coming together of Indian and Mexican-inspired flavors. Tortillas or lavash bread work equally as well. If you opt to make this recipe vegan, just swap out the Greek yogurt for a non-dairy yogurt.
