Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon chili powder

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup red cabbage, finely shredded

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Lime wedges, for serving

Optional: Hot sauce, for additional heat

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleaning afterward.

    Prepare the cauliflower: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with the olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until each floret is well-coated with the spice blend.

      Roast the cauliflower: Spread the seasoned cauliflower evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through for even cooking. The cauliflower should be tender and beautifully golden brown when done.

        Warm the tortillas: While the cauliflower is roasting, it's time to warm the tortillas. You can heat them in a dry skillet on medium heat for approximately 30 seconds on each side. Alternatively, wrap them in aluminum foil and place them in the oven during the last 5 minutes of the cauliflower roasting.

          Assemble the tacos: Once the cauliflower has finished roasting, take it out of the oven. To assemble each taco, lay a generous amount of the roasted cauliflower in the center of each tortilla. Add slices of avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and a handful of finely shredded red cabbage on top.

            Garnish and serve: Finish off by sprinkling fresh cilantro over the assembled tacos. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos. For those who enjoy a bit of heat, drizzle some hot sauce over the top.

                - Presentation Tips: Serve the tacos on a large platter, and arrange lime wedges attractively around for a vibrant touch. Consider adding a small bowl of hot sauce for a customizable heat level.
