Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage (red or green)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (adjust to your heat preference)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • Optional toppings: avocado slices, cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. In a bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and slightly browned at the edges.
  5. While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the spicy slaw. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise or yogurt, lime juice, hot sauce, and sugar.
  6. Add the shredded cabbage to the dressing and toss well to combine.
  7. Warm the tortillas according to package directions (you can warm them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side).
  8. Assemble your tacos: place a portion of the roasted cauliflower onto each warm tortilla.
  9. Top generously with the spicy slaw and any other desired toppings. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Roasting the cauliflower until it has nice brown edges brings out a deeper, nutty flavor.
  • Feel free to substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise in the slaw for a lighter option.
  • If you enjoy more heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cauliflower seasoning mix.
  • These tacos are great for meal prepping if you store the slaw and cauliflower separately.
