This recipe features crispy baked cauliflower tossed in spices, served in warm tortillas, and drizzled with a zesty chipotle lime sauce. It takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

• 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 small corn or flour tortillas
• 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
• Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
• Lime wedges for serving (optional)
• For the Chipotle Lime Sauce:
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
• 1-2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo sauce, minced
• Juice of 1 lime

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cauliflower: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
2. Bake the Cauliflower: Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
3. Make the Chipotle Lime Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt (or sour cream), minced chipotle, lime juice, and salt until well combined.
4. Warm the Tortillas: While the cauliflower is baking, warm the tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
5. Assemble the Tacos: Fill each tortilla with crispy cauliflower, a drizzle of chipotle lime sauce, and any additional toppings like avocado slices or fresh cilantro.
6. Serve: Serve the tacos warm with lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
