  • 0.25 cup 0.25 red onion (thinly sliced)

Instructions
    Preheat the Oven
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    2. Season the Cauliflower
  2. 2
    In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the florets are evenly coated.
    3. Roast the Cauliflower
  3. 3
    Spread the seasoned cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender. Remove from the oven and squeeze lime juice over the roasted cauliflower.
    4. Prepare the Avocado Lime Sauce
  4. 4
    While the cauliflower is roasting, blend all the sauce ingredients (avocado, Greek yogurt, garlic, lime juice, salt, cilantro, and water) in a blender until smooth. Adjust water to reach your desired consistency.
    5. Warm the Tortillas
  5. 5
    Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds per side until soft and slightly charred.
    6. Assemble the Tacos
  6. 6
    Divide the roasted cauliflower among the warmed tortillas. Top with shredded red cabbage, sliced red onion, jalapeño (if using), cherry tomatoes, and fresh cilantro. Drizzle with avocado lime sauce.
    7. Serve and Enjoy
  7. 7
    Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra zest!
Note
  • Storage: Store leftover roasted cauliflower in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The avocado lime sauce can be stored for 2 days.
  • Variations: Add black beans or grilled mushrooms for extra protein. Swap Greek yogurt for a dairy-free alternative to make it vegan.
  • Spiciness: Adjust the chili powder and jalapeños to your spice preference.
