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 smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 8-10 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 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 prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are crispy and golden brown.
  • While the cauliflower roasts, make the spicy sauce by blending all sauce ingredients in a food processor until smooth.
  • Warm the tortillas either in a dry skillet or wrapped in foil in the oven for the last 5 minutes of cauliflower roasting.
  • Assemble the tacos by filling each tortilla with roasted cauliflower, drizzling with spicy sauce, and topping with cabbage, cilantro, and avocado slices.
