Ingredients
  

  • 1 large head of cauliflower cut into bite-sized florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro packed
  • 2 limes juiced
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 jalapeño seeded (optional)
  • 8-10 corn or flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, toss cauliflower florets with olive oil and all the spices until evenly coated.
  • Spread the seasoned cauliflower on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
  • While the cauliflower roasts, make the sauce by combining all sauce ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth, adding water if needed to reach desired consistency.
  • Warm your tortillas either in a dry skillet or wrapped in foil in the oven for the last 5 minutes of cauliflower roasting.
  • Assemble tacos by filling each tortilla with roasted cauliflower, shredded cabbage, and avocado slices. Drizzle generously with cilantro-lime sauce.
