Method

Preparing the Cauliflower

  1. 1

    Roasting the Cauliflower

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the cauliflower into florets and spread them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, and toss to coat evenly. Roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender.

Making the Smashed Avocado

  1. 2

    Prepare the Avocado

    In a bowl, scoop out the avocado and mash it with a fork. Add lime juice and salt, mixing until well combined. Set aside.

Preparing the Toasted Cumin Cream

  1. 3

    Make the Cream

    In a small bowl, combine sour cream, cumin, and olive oil. Whisk until smooth. Season with salt to taste.

Making the Salsa Fresca

  1. 4

    Mix the Salsa

    Dice the tomatoes and red onion, and chop the cilantro. In a bowl, combine all ingredients with lime juice and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Making the Sesame Candied Walnuts

  1. 5

    Prepare the Walnuts

    In a skillet over medium heat, combine walnuts, brown sugar, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt. Stir frequently until the sugar is melted and the walnuts are coated, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 6

    Build the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. On each tortilla, layer roasted cauliflower, smashed avocado, a dollop of toasted cumin cream, salsa fresca, and top with sesame candied walnuts. Serve immediately.
