Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for heat)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 12 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional, for richness)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons water (or more, to thin)
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the edges are browned and crispy.
  5. While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the avocado crema. Combine the avocado, Greek yogurt (if using), lime juice, water, cilantro, and a pinch of salt in a food processor or blender.
  6. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Add more water, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach a drizzly consistency.
  7. Warm the tortillas according to package directions (in a dry skillet or microwave).
  8. Assemble the tacos: Fill each warm tortilla with the roasted cauliflower.
  9. Drizzle generously with the avocado crema. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra smoky flavor, use chipotle powder instead of cayenne pepper.
  • If you prefer a dairy-free crema, skip the Greek yogurt and use a little extra avocado or a splash of plant-based milk.
  • Make sure the cauliflower is in a single layer for the best crisping results.
