Ingredients

  • Cauliflower florets - 300 grams
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Paprika - 1 teaspoon
  • Cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Chili powder - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
  • Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
  • Corn tortillas - 4 small

Steps

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the cauliflower is well coated.
  3. Let the cauliflower marinate for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  4. Place the marinated cauliflower florets on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
  5. While the cauliflower is grilling, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 1-2 minutes on each side until pliable.
  6. Once the cauliflower is done, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly.
  7. Assemble the tacos by placing grilled cauliflower on each tortilla, adding slices of avocado, and sprinkling with fresh cilantro.
  8. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
