Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Add olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the cauliflower. Toss until the cauliflower is evenly coated with the spices.

Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown.
While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the toppings. Shred the red cabbage and thinly slice the avocado. Chop the cilantro and cut the lime into wedges.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or wrap them in foil and heat them in the oven for 5 minutes.
Assemble the tacos by dividing the roasted cauliflower among the tortillas.
