Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 large romaine lettuce leaves
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 whole lime
- 1 large avocado
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 small red onion
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower florets and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mix over the cauliflower and toss until the florets are well coated.
Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and slightly crispy.
While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the taco toppings: halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red onion, chop the cilantro, and slice the avocado.
Slice the lime into wedges for serving.
Once the cauliflower is done roasting, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
To assemble the tacos, take one large romaine lettuce leaf and fill it with a portion of roasted cauliflower.
Top the cauliflower with cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, sliced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
Squeeze a lime wedge over the taco for added flavor.
Repeat the assembly process for the remaining tacos, and serve immediately.
