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.
