Ingredients

• 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 small corn or flour tortillas
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1/4 cup plain yogurt (can be replaced with dairy-free yogurt)
• Juice of 1 lime
• 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper until well-coated. Spread them out on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.
4. Meanwhile, prepare the avocado sauce. In a food processor or blender, combine avocado, yogurt, lime juice, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
5. In a medium bowl, toss the shredded purple cabbage with a little lime juice and pinch of salt. Set aside.
6. Warm the tortillas either in the oven or on a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds each side.
7. Assemble the tacos by layering the roasted cauliflower on each tortilla. Drizzle with the avocado sauce, then top with the purple cabbage slaw and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Helpful Tips

For added crunch and flavor, consider toasting the tortillas over an open flame for a few seconds. You can also add black beans or grilled corn to the tacos for extra protein and texture.

Storage and Substitutions

These tacos are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have any leftovers, store the components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The avocado sauce can be covered tightly and refrigerated, but it might brown slightly. To keep it fresh-looking, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface. If you don’t have purple cabbage, feel free to substitute with any crunchy greens like romaine lettuce or green cabbage.

Complementary Dishes and Drinks

Pair these vibrant tacos with a side of Mexican rice or a simple black bean salad. For drinks, a refreshing limeade or a chilled glass of horchata would complement the flavors beautifully.
