These roasted cauliflower tacos are a flavorful, healthy twist on a classic Mexican favorite, featuring crispy spiced cauliflower, fresh toppings, and a zesty sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 1/3 cup crumbled cotija cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Mexican crema
  • Hot sauce, to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and crispy on the edges.
  4. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or oven until soft and pliable.
  5. Assemble the tacos by dividing the roasted cauliflower among the tortillas, then topping with shredded cabbage, cilantro, avocado slices, and cotija cheese if using.
  6. Drizzle with sour cream or Mexican crema and add a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
  7. Serve immediately with hot sauce on the side, if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the cauliflower in lime juice and a bit of chipotle powder before roasting, and serve with pickled red onions for a tangy crunch.
