Ingredients:

• 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 small corn or flour tortillas
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 cup shredded red cabbage or slaw mix
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• Lime wedges, for serving

For the Creamy Lime Sauce:

• 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 1/2 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Season the Cauliflower: In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
3. Roast the Cauliflower: Spread the seasoned cauliflower evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and slightly crispy on the edges, tossing halfway through.
4. Make the Creamy Lime Sauce: While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the sauce by combining the sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, lime zest, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and set aside.
5. Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for a few seconds on each side. Fill each tortilla with a generous portion of roasted cauliflower, a few slices of avocado, shredded red cabbage, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
6. Drizzle with Sauce and Serve: Drizzle the tacos with the creamy lime sauce and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra squeeze of citrus.

These Roasted Cauliflower Tacos are a vibrant, tasty, and healthy option that brings a fresh twist to taco night, perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a delicious meatless meal.
