Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 small corn tortillas (gluten-free if preferred)
  • 1 large avocado, sliced or mashed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • A handful fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
  • Optional toppings: pickled jalapeños, sliced radishes, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Rinse and dry the cauliflower head, then cut into bite-sized florets about 1 to 1.5 inches each.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Add cauliflower florets and toss until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the cauliflower evenly in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, ensuring florets are not crowded.
  5. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the cauliflower halfway through after 15 minutes, until edges are golden brown and centers are tender.
  6. While roasting, slice or mash the avocado, squeeze fresh lime juice over it, and chop cilantro, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.
  7. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side or wrap in a damp towel and microwave for 20 seconds.
  8. Assemble the tacos by placing a generous spoonful of roasted cauliflower onto each tortilla. Top with avocado, red onion, tomatoes, cilantro, and optional toppings like pickled jalapeños.
  9. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.

Notes

Make sure cauliflower is dry before tossing with oil to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. If cauliflower isn’t crisping, increase oven temperature slightly or broil briefly while watching closely. For smoky heat, add chipotle or cayenne powder. Warm tortillas separately to avoid sogginess. Assemble tacos just before serving to keep fresh toppings vibrant.
