Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 pieces corn tortillas
• 1 piece lime
• 0.25 cup cilantro
• 0.5 piece red onion
• 1 piece avocado
• 0.25 cup cotija cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into small florets and place in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower florets and toss to coat evenly.

Add the cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the cauliflower and mix well until the florets are evenly coated with the seasoning.

Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown, stirring halfway through the cooking time.

Step 7

While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the toppings. Chop the cilantro and finely dice the red onion. Cube the avocado and crumble the cotija cheese. Slice the lime into wedges.

Step 8

Warm the corn tortillas in a pan or microwave, making them pliable for filling.

Step 9

Once the cauliflower is done roasting, assemble the tacos by placing a generous amount of roasted cauliflower onto each tortilla.
