Method

Roasting the Cauliflower

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into small florets.

  2. 2

    Season and Roast

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated. Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and tender, tossing halfway through.

Pickling the Cabbage

  1. 3

    Prepare the Brine

    In a medium saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve.

  2. 4

    Pickle the Cabbage

    Place the shredded red cabbage in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot brine over the cabbage and let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to a week.

Making the Jalapeño Lime Crema

  1. 5

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a blender, combine sour cream, jalapeño (seeds removed for less heat), lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 6

    Warm the Tortillas

    Warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, layer roasted cauliflower, pickled cabbage, fresh cilantro, and sliced jalapeño. Drizzle with jalapeño lime crema before serving.
