Method

Prepare the Cauliflower

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Cut the Cauliflower

    Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower head, and cut it into bite-sized florets.

  3. 3

    Season the Cauliflower

    In a bowl, combine cauliflower florets with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat.

  4. 4

    Roast the Cauliflower

    Spread the seasoned cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until crispy and golden, tossing halfway through.

Prepare the Avocado Topping

  1. 5

    Mash the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lime juice and salt, then mash until smooth.

Make the Cilantro Lime Sauce

  1. 6

    Blend the Sauce

    In a blender or food processor, combine Greek yogurt, fresh cilantro, lime juice, garlic clove, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 7

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  2. 8

    Build the Tacos

    On each tortilla, add a generous amount of roasted cauliflower, a dollop of mashed avocado, and a sprinkle of shredded cabbage.

  3. 9

    Drizzle the Sauce

    Top each taco with cilantro lime sauce and serve with lime wedges on the side.
