Baked Cauliflower Tacos

These Baked Cauliflower Tacos are a delightful and hearty vegan twist on traditional tacos, featuring roasted cauliflower seasoned with Mexican spices. Served in warm corn tortillas and topped with fresh avocado and cilantro, they are perfect for a nutritious meal.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 300 grams, chopped into small florets
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
• Fresh cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Lime - 1, cut into wedges

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cauliflower florets with olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the cauliflower is evenly coated.
3. Spread the seasoned cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden and tender, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
5. While the cauliflower is baking, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
6. Once the cauliflower is done, remove it from the oven and assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the roasted cauliflower on each tortilla.
7. Top each taco with sliced avocado and chopped cilantro.
8. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
